The candidates in next May's Presidential and Vice Presidential election must win Greater Santo Domingo (National District and the Province of Santo Domingo), Santiago and San Cristobal provinces. These are the "brass rings" of any election in the foreseeable future. The candidates will also be targeting women and the younger generation in their hunt for a majority of votes.
With 6.4 million potential voters on the rolls by next May, politicians are aiming at the majority of women voters (50.7%) and the huge mass of younger voters between the ages of 18 and 29 (28% of the total). At the same time, the group of voters over the age of 50 makes up nearly 30% of possible voters and is also an important target group.
A look at the voter registration lists shows that 50% of the voters live in the National District, the province of Santo Domingo, Santiago, and San Cristobal. There are 28 other provinces.
For example, the figures show that 70% of voters in the next elections live in the National District, the province of Santo Domingo and the northern region. A closer look shows that in Greater Santo Domingo 61% of this group is distributed between the municipalities surrounding the capital and has 1,296,063 voters, and in the National District there are 821,571 voters. The same thing occurs in the Cibao where 2,416,213 voters are registered now, 30% of them concentrated in Santiago.
