The Central Electoral Board announced the start of renewals for the identity and voting card (cedula) as of 3 November. 6.1 million citizens need to obtain the new "cedulas" in order to vote. The new IDs will contain digital fingerprints and other biometric information, a photograph and signature. The deadline for renewing the IDs is 30 September 2009. The voting card would be used for the first time in the 2010 mid-term congressional and municipal elections. The JCE said the cards could be renewed at civil registry offices, and other JCE offices nationwide and abroad, but also at other government offices, shopping malls and universities.
The JCE also said it is studying implementing electronic voting in 2010.
