The Junta in the US

[NewsWhore]

The Junta Central Electoral (JCE) is working on a plan that would allow Dominicans living abroad to get their "cedula" identification and voting card in the US at a cost of US$45. The plan would increase the number of Dominicans abroad who can vote from an estimated 58,378 to more than 300,000, just in time for the 2008 elections. Dominicans living abroad could decide an election, if this happens. The work is being carried out with the Dominicans Abroad Voting Office, which was created in 2002, and that allowed thousands of Dominicans to vote in the 2004 elections. According to Listin Diario, many Dominicans in the US have an "old cedula" and aren't registered in the Junta's records. The project needs to be approved by the JCE.
