The vice president of the National Electoral Council (CEN) of Cuba, Tomás Amarán, affirmed today that all details are being adjusted so that citizens can freely exercise their right to vote next March 26th.
In an appearance on local television, Amarán explained that all electoral structures are working intensely to arrive at the national elections with the conditions created and that the house-to-house visits, in coordination with the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, which allowed direct contact with the families, were fundamental.
He pointed out that during those days they talked to around two million voters, which allowed them not only to receive information on how the process will be carried out on March 26, but also to know the specific situation of many families with people unable to attend schools.
In these cases, he specified, formulas are sought to guarantee that each citizen can exercise his right, which is in charge of the polling station of his school, which takes the ballot to the house with the due care of transparency, from the participation of the pioneers and the seal of the envelope where the vote travels.
Amaran detailed that situations such as those who must leave for work before the opening of the polling stations and who do not finish their work until after the closing of the polling stations are also valued.
There are places where the work centers will start their functions later and others where it has been requested to start voting before 07:00, the scheduled time, he commented.
The vice-president of the CEN pointed out that after the publication of the electoral lists and the biographies of the candidates for deputies in places of great confluence, they worked on the preparation of the ballots, which 24 hours before the voting day will be delivered to the polling stations.
He mentioned that they also worked on the training of all the electoral authorities, mainly of the polling stations, due to the relevant role they play in the process.
He highlighted the dynamic test to be carried out this Sunday, March 19, which will make it possible to verify in practice that the premises, communications and people involved in the elections are ready, as well as to correct any errors that may be identified.
On March 26, Cuba will vote for the 470 deputies to the National Assembly of People's Power, who will be in charge of electing the president and vice-president of the country and continuing with the legislative development of the Constitution.
