The Central Electoral Board has established the order that the political parties will appear on the 2008 Presidential Ballots. The JCE based their decision on the amount of votes garnered by each party in the 2006 municipal and congressional elections. As a result, the PLD party will have the #1 post, the PRD will have #2 and the PRSC will have #3. The other parties will be positioned in descending order. Recently, the JCE declined to recognize 13 new parties of minuscule size, since their inclusion would have required a new, much enlarged version of the ballot. The JCE also agreed that when two or more parties decide to join together in an alliance, they must do so in writing, and hold national conventions in order to take such decisions.
