The Guyana Elections Commission announced today that Nomination Day for political parties and their candidates contesting the upcoming elections will be on the 14th July, 2025. The elections are set to take place on the 1st September, as announced by the President.

In a statement this afternoon, GECOM said political parties will be required to submit their list of candidates on 14th July. The statutory forms for the submission of those lists of candidates are currently available on the Commission’s website, www.gecom.org.gy

The Elections body also announced that ahead of Nomination Day, political parties will be required to submit applications for allocation of symbols for approval by the Commission by the 22nd of June, 2025.

GECOM said recognizing that the Commission has been conducting continuous registration throughout the year since January 2023, a short Claims and Objections exercise will be held from the 16th – 20th of June, 2025.

This exercise is in keeping with the legal requirement to produce an Official Lists of Electors (OLE) to be used for the conduct of the elections, the Commission said.

It reminded that eligible persons who will be 18 years and older by June 30, 2025 and have not
been registered can apply for registration during that period to be included in the OLE to be eligible to vote in the 1st September elections.

Persons who are already registered can apply for correction of incorrect particulars on their National Identification Cards,  name change if they have changed their name(s) since
they were registered, and transfers if they have changed their addresses.

With its work plan for the upcoming elections approved by the Elections Commission, the Secretariat of the Commission has been authorized to proceed with the implementation of the tasks outlined in the work plan to ensure the elections are conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner.
