Voter's Full Message:

Want to bring to your section what the PPP is doing. This info is true. If you need any more clarification plz send me a message. Keep all names private.

I’m presently traveling in a bus from Suriname to Guyana. There are 21 other passengers in the bus, all of Indian descent. The majority was picked up from a village referred to as Bus Camp. As we are traveling, they were all asked to present their ID and to verify their phone numbers, their Suriname address, and their place of voting. At least two persons do not have their Guyana ID.

Arrangements were then made to get them to their respective place of voting and to return them home the same day. The passengers then asked about payment and were told that after they vote and show the ink on their fingers, they would be given 20,000, which I believe to be Suriname money. This money will be paid by the bus operator known as Speedy.
