During yesterday's session of the Central Electoral Board (JCE), the board agreed to maintain the double check on voter tallies. They also ended the restructuring process for many of the municipal election boards and produced a report on voter displacement. The JCE took the decision to keep the system of double-checking the voter tallies because both the PLD and the PRD parties objected to the proposed change. The JCE magistrates did warn that the double check system would delay, somewhat, the publication of the results. In a discussion lasting for four hours, Luis Arias Nunez, the chief electoral magistrate, and the entire electoral board, debated the wisdom of the double check system and ended the session by saying that most of the election results, especially the anxiously awaited First Bulletin, would not be released until later at night on 16 May.
The Organization of American States (OAS) has completed the installation of their election monitoring offices. From there, the electoral observers will watch over the proceedings. Ruben Perina, the OAS mission chief, met with JCE magistrates in order to refine some of the details. According to Listin Diario, Perina said that his office would hear all the voters' complaints and follow up on them. He pointed out that the 50-member observation group would be arriving in the Dominican Republic with no pre-conceived notions or prejudices. They will be housed in the Hotel V Centenario InterContinental in Santo Domingo.
