…written submissions accepted until Dec 31

The Constitution Reform Commission (CRC) has launched a public call for written submissions as it begins the process of reviewing Guyana’s Constitution, inviting citizens and organisations to propose changes they believe should be considered.

Notices published in the Sunday, July 5, 2026 edition of Guyana Times state that members of the public have until December 31, 2026 to submit written proposals for constitutional reform. According to the Commission, the review will examine a broad range of issues identified in the CRC Act 2022, while remaining open to additional proposals from the public. Among the areas identified for review are the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Guyanese; the rights of Indigenous peoples and children; the elimination of discrimination; improving race relations and promoting ethnic security and equal opportunity; and ensuring that minority views are adequately considered in decision-making and governance.
