As part of the Presidential plan to reduce public spending, the Central Electoral Board (JCE) will eliminate 1,000 jobs, equivalent to a RD$12 million reduction in its monthly payroll. The announcement was made yesterday by the chief magistrate of the JCE's Administrative Chamber, Roberto Rosario. Rosario also revealed that the JCE was running on a RD$22 million deficit.
