The president of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) Administrative Chamber, Roberto Rosario, has warned the secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS), Jose Miguel Insulza, about the sale of pirated software to countries in the region that includes the proprietary applications used in the JCE's electoral computing system that, according to information on hand, has already been used in the recent elections in El Salvador. According to Diario Libre, in a letter dated 25 March, Rosario indicated that this action "coincides with the fact that an employee of the institution, abusing his position, stole proprietary information about our computer system security." In this letter, Rosario recommended that the Secretariat of the OAS "alert the election boards of Latin America so that they are not surprised in their good faith by the promoter" by the pirated system that is being sold as "used in the Dominican Republic and Haiti." According to the JCE, a serious investigation involving the state security entities has been launched. The JCE's computer processes are based on a program designed by election board technicians for the exclusive use of the institution.
