Civil Registry earns millions for JCE

[NewsWhore]

The Central Electoral Board (JCE) earns millions from its Civil Registry offices. According to Hoy newspaper's Loyda Pena, in a little over a year, the offices where people register births, deaths, marriages and divorces have generated over RD$490 million. Much of this income is a result of assigning fixed salaries to their employees and remodeling many of the main offices throughout the country, making them more attractive for people who use them and who work in them. During the first five months of 2008, the offices reported an income of RD$157 million. According to a consolidated report on the 161 Civil Registry offices in the Dominican Republic, the busiest are Higuey, the National District and Santo Domingo East.
