eab The Electoral Assistance Bureau of Guyana

Welcome to the EAB's Website!

The Electoral Assistance Bureau (EAB) of Guyana is an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit organisation of ordinary citizens who are committed to promoting democracy in Guyana. The EAB is comprised of citizen volunteers from all ethnic, economic and adult age groups within Guyana. Since our establishment in 1991 we have focused on the monitoring of elections. In this regard, EAB has an extensive national observer network. We have fielded several hundred observers in all the Regions of Guyana for all national and regional elections since 1992.

Guyana is located on the Northeastern coast of South America bordered by Venezuela, Suriname, Brazil and the North Atlantic Ocean. Originally a Dutch Colony in 18th century, it came into British possession in 1815, and achieved independence in 1966. Guyana is a multi-ethnic country with a population of approximately seven hundred and seventy thousand people.
