Here we go.

Guyana’s population is estimated at 750,000, with the number of eligible voters now standing at 738,484. However, the government’s refusal to release the 2022 National Census data has led to concerns that the population may have shrunk, or that the demographic traditionally supportive of the governing People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has been affected by outward migration.

According to Demerara Waves, a senior official from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) confirmed that the latest figure, as of February 6, 2025, reflects the conclusion of the claims and objections period. The qualifying date for registration was December 31, 2024. The official numbers from this period revealed 4,255 applications for registration, 1,615 applications for transfer, 421 changes or corrections of particulars, and nine objections.

At the 2020 General Elections, the electoral roll stood at approximately 660,000. By mid-2024, this had swelled to 718,000 registered voters, and now, with the 2025 preliminary list, the total stands at 738,000
