JCE invites observers

[NewsWhore]

The chief magistrate of the Central Electoral Board (JCE), Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman, has told reporters that the board had invited 40 international organizations to observe the elections of 16 May. According to Listin Diario, the JCE sent the letters out during the last week of January, and now the board just has to send invitations to the local diplomatic representatives. When President Fernandez' comments about the need to invite observers to the elections were mentioned, Castanos Guzman told the reporters, that "perhaps the President did not know that this is normal procedure for the JCE". He added that usual protocol is for the observers to be here between the 13th and 17th of May, but he added that if a delegation were to request an earlier arrival, they would be welcomed with "great pleasure".
