The Central Electoral Board (JCE) has inaugurated the first Specialized Late Registration Unit in Salcedo where 902 under-16s and 4,000 adults who were not previously registered will be able to secure their first birth certificates and cedulas. The mobile unit will be located on Doroteo Tapia street, opposite the Banco Agricola. The unit is equipped with modern technology and trained staff. JCE president Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman and JCE Administrative Chamber president Roberto Rosario highlighted the importance of this pilot program. Rosario said that the program would eventually be rolled out to the rest of the DR where an estimated 600,000 Dominicans have been identified as undocumented in the State Civil Registry, and where 200,000 don't have cedula identification.
