With exactly one month to go before the 16 May presidential election, the Central Electoral Board (JCE) says it has completed its timetable of administrative and legal details completely, and in some cases, is ahead of schedule. The core issues and logistics are complete, with just the ballots themselves and the plastic coverings for the tally sheets pending for delivery to JCE officials. The ballots went to press late last week, and are due to be received by the JCE this week, possibly today or tomorrow, according to chief magistrate Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman.
Election director Joel Lantigua told reporters from Hoy newspaper that the basic supplies needed at the 13,500 polling stations are packed and ready for shipment. The ballots, voting registration lists, the vote tally sheets and other documents will be ready on the 23rd of this month and will go out under guard to each of the 301 polling places overseas and on the 27th, they will be distributed to the national polling stations under seal. According to Lantigua, the process is so well oiled that three of the most populous voting areas, Santiago, the National District and Santo Domingo East, have already received their voting booths, ballot boxes and podiums.
