With 15 months to go before the next presidential elections, the Central Electoral Board (JCE) has stepped up its preparatory work. The JCE has announced the creation of 88 new voting stations.
Also, in preparation for the elections JCE head Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman traveled to the United States yesterday in order to help prepare voting procedures for Dominicans abroad. Castanos was accompanied by JCE Administrative Chamber head Roberto Rosario and Judge Jose Angel Aquino. Castanos will be visiting areas with large Dominican populations, including New York, New Jersey and Boston.
Hoy's Coctelera column comments that the government will make available RD$297 million for the JCE to distribute among the political parties for their political activities, and describes this as "expensive democracy".
