The head of logistics, Higinio Nunez, told reporters from Listin Diario that his people were preparing the 12,371 ballot boxes needed for the polling stations. The preparations were being carried out under strict military and civilian supervision, with observers from all the political parties taking part. According to Gilberto Cruz Herasme, the JCE elections director, the National District and its 2,000 polling stations will be the first to receive the material.
