Carter-Price Formula and Political Equilibrium
Description
Guyana’s elections commission, born from the Carter-Price formula, isn’t neutral—it’s a political peace treaty engineered to balance power between rivals. With the president appointing three commissioners and the opposition leader selecting the other three, it institutionalizes division to ensure fairness. But as politics evolves, the opposition must now have real power to nominate their own commissioners—or the system risks becoming obsolete. The chair stays above the fray, but commissioners’ roles are tied to the fragile equilibrium, making their tenure functional, not permanent.
