The president of the Central Electoral Board (JCE), Román Jáquez, reported that this Saturday the equipment for digitization, scanning and transmission of the results will be located and tested in the electoral precincts, and the materials will be delivered to the presidents of the colleges.
Jáquez explained that the table presidents and secretaries will review the documents and the equipment will be guarded by members of the Electoral Police.
Last night the JCE announced that the Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean (Copppal) will deploy 110 of its members in the 20 provinces (out of 32) with the largest number of voters.
These observers come from 30 countries and before the elections they are meeting with the leadership and candidates of the seven parties that belong to that organization in the Dominican Republic, according to the electoral body.
This Friday they did it with the Modern Revolutionary (PRM) and Dominican Liberation (PLD) parties.
They are also members of Copppal la Fuerza del Pueblo (FP), the Dominican Revolutionary Parties (PRD), the Social Democratic Revolutionary Parties (PRSD), the Social Democratic Institutional Bloc (BISD) and País Posible (PP).
There are 21 international missions that are in the country with a view to the elections, among them the World Foundation for Electoral Systems, the Council of Electoral Experts of Latin America, the Organization of American States, the delegation of the European Union in the country and the Central American Parliament.
Some 200,000 people will work in the elections, including nearly 50,000 members of the Military Electoral Police, which will be in charge of security and order before, during and after the voting.
Nine presidential candidates are running in the elections, only two of them women.
The latest polls published last Wednesday gave President Luis Abinader, of the PRM, as the favorite, but the Alianza Rescate RD (made up of the opposition parties FP, the PLD and the PRD) is confident in returning to the polls on June 30. in a second round.
