It appears that political campaigning could become part of life in prison, now that the Central Electoral Board (JCE) is announcing that inmates that have not been found guilty by a court will be able to vote in the 2008 presidential elections. Voting stations will be opened at the Rafey (Santiago), Najayo (San Cristobal) and La Victoria (Santo Domingo North) jails. Judge Roberto Rosario, president of the JCE's Administrative Chamber made the announcement. Rosario said the decision was reached following petitions from the Attorney General's office. The JCE will prepare voting lists to determine which inmates qualify to vote. The JCE would provide voting cards (cedulas) to those who qualify.
He said the JCE is also working on making voting easier for people with eyesight problems.
Rosario said the JCE is planning 13,000 voting stations nationwide for the 16 May 2008 election. A maximum of 600 voters is registered for each station.
