DR1 incorrectly reported yesterday that the plastic shortage that has halted the issue of cedulas affects all Central Electoral Board (JCE) branches. We would like to specify that only the Santiago JCE has temporarily stopped issuing the identity cards because of the lack of plastic. Jaime Frias Carela, president of the Santiago JCE said that the office had previously issued 150 cedulas daily, and that since the 16 May Congressional and municipal elections they have been receiving 400 to 500 applications per day.
DR1 would also like to make a correction to an article yesterday titled "US to comment on DR-CAFTA laws". DR1 stated that the Dominicans are waiting for the Office of the United States Trade Representative to revise certain Dominican laws. This is incorrect, since foreign governments can only review Dominican laws, and then ask for changes, but they can never revise Dominican laws.
