GECOM confirms ballot boxes moved during the day

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has condemned a video circulating on Facebook, reportedly posted by social media commentator Bryan Max, calling it a “false alarm” and saying it was “clearly designed to create mischief and confusion.”

GECOM described the video as “reckless and irresponsible” and said such disinformation “must be rejected,” especially since all political parties are engaged in the commission’s operations.

The commission clarified that none of its containers with ballot boxes were moved at night. “All of the containers arrived at their respective destinations during bright daylight and have been under police guard ever since,” GECOM said.

“This level of disinformation is not only a dishonest, vile and malicious publication but it was clearly intended to undermine confidence in the Commission,” the statement added.

GECOM said its Secretariat will continue to fulfill its responsibilities “in compliance with the relevant laws, and with total transparency and integrity.”
