Revenues from civil registries high

[NewsWhore]

From March 2007 until November 2007 the Central Electoral Board (JCE) received RD$198,454,188 in revenue from the nation's civil registries. The 15 registries classified as first class collected RD$114,679,445, the 17 designated as second category collected RD$43,275,000 and the 129 classified as third category collected RD$40,499,743. During that same period the JCE spent RD$69,107,855 on the development of mobile registration centers, remodeling civil registry buildings, communication and information equipment, inverters and other essential equipment. The JCE has become more efficient in recent years, which has resulted in the increase in revenue. Civil registry officials are now paid a fixed salary of RD$50,000, RD$40,000 and RD$25,000 for services plus a percentage fee for marriages performed off the premises.
