Photos, Bios Ready for
Cuba Elections
Cuba's Constituency
Election Commissions
will place at public
places photos and
biographies of over
37,000 candidates to the
October 21 municipal
elections that the First
Vice President Raul
Castro convened in July.
This will help Cuban
voters choose the best
on the first round on
the 21st and at the
runoffs on the 28th if
there were a tie or if
neither candidate scored
50 percent plus one of
the votes.
Also on display are the
list of constituents 16
years and older, with
legal capacity to vote
to correct any mistake
or omission in time.
Maria Esther Reus,
president of the
National Election
Commission, said the
ongoing process attests
to democracy, clearness
and support of the
leadership of the
Revolution.
Reus said that 90,000
election Judges will
help elect 15,236
delegates for an equal
number of
circumscriptions that
will make up 169
Municipal Assemblies of
the People's Power for
30 months. |
