Gecom addressed document to a person they knew was dead

I went recently to Gecom’s office on Church Street to have my mother’s name removed from the list of electors, following her death, in Gecom’s ongoing Claims & Objections exercise.

I presented all pertinent and relevant documents, including death certificate, to the attending Gecom official and was advised of attending a hearing.

I was therefore appalled and surprised to find subsequent to that engagement with Gecom, a document addressed to my deceased mother in the letter box from Gecom pertinent to the hearing procedure.

How could Gecom address a document to a non-existent person when Gecom is fully aware the person has died, having  been presented with evidential facts?

Yours faithfully,

Anything to get votes.

In Malaysia anyone over 120 years old is considered a Ghost Voter.

In Guyana can police officers and military personnel use their military ID to vote in the advance polls and then use their Identity cards for ordinary voting?

I am compelled to respond to GECOM’s response (SN Jan 16) to my letter of Jan 14, in which my deceased mother was summoned to a hearing in order to have her name removed from the National Register of Registrants (List of Electors)

Notwithstanding all that has been said in the response, I find the position flawed, since the removal of a deceased person from the NRR cannot and does not constitute an objection.  I have not objected to my late mother’s name being removed from the NRR.   An objection would require some form of reason(s) and justification.  There was none.

This was a  simple  request for an administrative function to be carried out having provided the legal basis (death certificate) to so do.

My mother has died and her name must be removed from the NRR. Simple.

In fact I did not even have to take it upon myself to have this done since GECOM would have received a list of deceased persons from GRO and updated the NRR accordingly. This procedure being deemed an objection and a hearing convened is, in my view, flawed and should be reviewed.  Does the list provided by GRO require a hearing?

In the meantime I await my mother to attend the Hearing since we were both summoned.

This is my last say on this matter.

Regards,

Shamshun Mohamed

Joke of the day: GECOM sent a notice to the Dead to attend a hearing in order to have her name removed from the National Register of Registrants (List of Electors).
