Gecom can take a bow for day one

Dear Editor,
So day one of GRE 2025 is completed. From reports it seems the process was generally smooth with minor hiccups. Now on to day two.
It is surprising that one contesting presidential candidate on a visit to a polling station (Demerarawaves, Aug 22) did not seem to know that the Disciplined Forces ballots will be stamped by the presiding officer with a six-digit number just prior to the ballots being mixed with other ballots for counting (Sase Gunraj, Commissioner, FB post on Action News, Aug 22). Why the DF’s ballots will be stamped afterwards is baffling.
The incident of the ballots on social media is regrettable, and every effort must be made that such a situation does not repeat itself. One would think the errant DF member would act in a more responsible manner.
All in all, GECOM can take a bow on DFs voting activities.

Yours sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
