[www.inewsguyana.com] – Chaos erupted at the GECOM polling station at Turning Point Snackette in Tucville, Georgetown on Monday afternoon when two men attempted to storm the polling station.

This situation caused some amount of unrest after residents caught one of the men and dealt him several blows to the body before police took him away. His alleged accomplice managed to escape.

The incident has since forced GECOM to close the polling station, much to the dissatisfaction of residents who are yet to cast their ballot. Efforts made to contact GECOM for an official comment on the matter proved futile.

One woman, who witnessed the incident named a senior official from one of the major political parties as being involved in the incident.

There are many angry voters outside the polling station, which is being guarded by members of the Guyana Police Fo

Polling going smooth - GECOM

 

 

Polling smooth – Chief Election Officer

By Anand Persaud On May 11, 2015 @ 9:34 am In Local News

Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield today said that except for a few glitches such as the malfunctioning of some of the official six-digit stamps and some polling stations not opening at the 6am scheduled time, the country’s national and regional elections commenced smoothly.

Lowenfield, speaking at the first press conference of the day just after midday and first as CEO on elections day at the commission’s Kingston command centre, said that the issue with the malfunctioning of the stamp was quickly rectified. This occurred at the Central High School, where some voters protested, and it also occurred in Districts Six and Two. The stamp has to be used on ballot papers before being given to voters.

The CEO also announced that there was an “unfortunate situation” in District Three (West Demerara and Essequibo Islands) where the polling staff issued tendered ballots for voting but he said corrective actions were taken and an investigation has been launched. Tendered ballots are issued in cases where there is a doubt about the eligibility of voters.

Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Dr Steve Surujbally said that he was particularly disturbed by the failure of the stamps since the commission paid “good money” for same. He named Code International as the company which provided the stamps and said discussions would have to be had with the company since it sold the commission substandard equipment. Surujbally did point out that the commission has had a long history with the company and that this is the first time such issues have arisen.

The Chairman also raised the issue of some persons turning up to vote with their old, decommissioned identification cards which he said would not be accepted by the polling staff. Persons, he said would either have to return home for the current identification card or an oath would be administered to them before they would be able to vote.

A report of polling staff being disrespectful in Region 3 is also being investigated and according to Surujbally there were complaints of police officers being inside the polling stations which should not be. They are to be outside.

Asked about the process that should be observed when photographs of government officials-such as President Donald Ramotar and Education Minister Priya Manickchand are in classrooms that are being used as polling stations, Lowenfield said staff are aware that they should be removed or covered. Surujbally doubted this newspaper’s report that there was one such incident in one of the polling stations at the St Gabriel’s Primary School which saw APNU candidate Keith Scott having to bring the issue to the attention of officials who then removed the photographs. This was witnessed by this newspaper’s reporter.

Meantime, Lowenfield said the commission up to 12 today has been in contact with the political parties and there has been no major incident although he confirmed that they had received reports that the police may have arrested a man for attempting to snatch a ballot box in South Georgetown. However, he made it clear that it was alleged as there was no confirmation of this report.

NOW.


This is exactly what will cause problems if the PPP wins.  People have a right to vote.  This is exactly what Kwame is attempting to do.  Prevent people from voting.

 

If the PPP wins and polling stations in PNC areas are closed then people will feel disenfranchised.

Hello Chief! 

Cobra tell your PPP to stop rigging the election.  People should be allowed to vote!

This is Kwame's work, just as Crum Ewing was!

 

Shaitaan will then wonder why people will be angry if the PPP wins.  The election must not only be transparent, but must also be seen to be transparent.  Every one who wants to vote and who is qualified to voet should be allowed to vote.

 

Now to baseman, and Shaitaan.  How is the police preventing voting in a PNC stronghold helping the PNC?  They are carrying out PPP orders!

All is well, there is a hallowing silence in the county.  DEAD silence.  Scary silence.

 

As the people wait.

 

No violence to date.  Only one arrest.  More that 300,000 people have already voted.
