GECOM discusses electronic voting with EU

Surujbally is a certified jackass..kick his ass out of GECOM. He is voraciously feeding on PNC milk and honey on the side.

With Electronics voting, there will be no way of stuffing any ballot boxes, paper trail will record how many votes should be in the comp system.

Might be a more acceptable means of voting but would the PNC/AFC agree to this?

This can cause their downfall unless of course someone who would be able to beat the system.

With electronic voting, you can always program the machine to your advantage. Surujbally will not honor a request for a recount. How can you challenge the results? If the PNC is still in power, their rigging ways will continue unabated.

Every country should have a recount process if the Election is very close to a certain percentage, well like the last elections.
Should not be an option, but a necessity

You are correct the system can be hacked,it's still a better and vote count is faster.

Countries do have a process for the representatives of political parties to be present during a recount when the votes are close; usually within two percent; except in Guyana where the Chairman of GECOM decides that such process will not be honoured.

Toronto uses voting machines in its municipal/mayoral elections. At the close of polls the machines already have the results for each ward/riding. I have no problem with electronic voting.

Guyana needs to swallow its pride and let any such electronic voting program be FULLY overseen by a credible International/UN team

otherwise, our zero sum race politricks led by skont politicians always on the lookout for 'fraud opportunity' will lead to civil war

Regardless of the uses in Toronto, Montreal, and other places, it will be an extremely long time for GECOM to implement electronic voting process.

GECOM cannot even conduct a proper process as noted in the last election.

It's great in Canada and America that uses electronic voting machine. In both countries you can have a recount by law in a closely contested election. Guyana was not privileged to such recount despite of a closely contested election. The fear of another rigging still haunts the disenfranchised voters who lost faith in the democratic process.
