APNU and AFC
Aren't these contesting as two separate parties in the elections? 2600:4040:9DC2:6E00:6C0F:92:2785:3BC (talk) 01:45, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Something's off here. The FGM has two columns labelled "votes" (presumably the latter should be "seats"), while the parties listed after it have, respectively, columns labelled "%" and "votes" and "%" and "seats". And the "35" listed under "%" for the AFC sounds more like the number of votes than the vote percentage. Tag Azzamrahman who originally inserted the table.

- I've fixed the headings, but what is that seats column? How does a party get 0.06 of a seat?? Number 57 23:31, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the column fixes. I read "0.06" as a notional placeholder until the final seat numbers were published (ie, in a two-seat constituency, 3% of the vote would get you 0.06 of a seat). It'd be trivial to update those seat columns with what are presumably the actual final numbers per File:2025 Guyanese general election.svg – and with the totals listed as 'regional seats' at the bottom of the table – but I'm reluctant to spend my time doing that without a rock-solid source (either press or Elections Commission) listing each party's seats per district. It'd be an extrapolation, WP:OR, and would only get {{CN}}'d. The table, as it stands, is completely unsourced, of course... Moscow Mule (talk) 13:56, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
- The sources for each region are in the main results table. Cheers, Number 57 21:04, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
- Filled and copied. The seats are still an extrapolation though, albeit a correct one. Moscow Mule (talk) 00:23, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

Registered voters & turnout
With reference to the to-and-froing in the infobox: The article currently gives a total of 718,715 registered voters, but I'm seeing (good) sources for 757,690: Carter Center and their preliminary statement, newsroom.gy, Commonwealth, EU-EOM. Assuming that's correct: 442,550 (votes cast) / 757,690 (roll) *100 = a turnout of 58.40%. That's supported by (e.g.) this Guyana Standard story. Moscow Mule (talk) 15:16, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
- I found (and used) the Carter Center source independently before seeing the talk page. The 718,715 was based on an outdated source for last year. Number 57 22:59, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
