The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is working to guarantee that results from the 2025 General and Regional Elections are made known at the soonest, according to the body’s Public Relations Officer, Yolanda Ward.
A day before the elections, Chief Elections Officer Vishnu Persaud said the results could be known by the night of September 3, and an official declaration may come the morning after, once there are no major delays or requests for recounts. However, Ward did not want to give a definitive timeline.
“We have committed to delivering those results within the shortest possible time, of course, taking into account all of the legal provisions in place,” Ward said, explaining that requests for a recount could push back any declaration.
Nevertheless, she urged persons to await results only from GECOM, not from external sources, including Facebook pages purporting to have Statements of Poll (SOPs) from polling stations. The electoral body has an online gallery on its website that should be updated with the SOPs as received.
“We want to ensure that this process is concluded in the shortest time possible,” Ward said.
