TEGUCIGALPA.
Checking over 12,000 inconsistent records was about to begin last night National Institute of Vocational Training (Infop) with the presence of movement delegates and other observers.
The special examination was delayed because, paradoxically, some currents questioning the minutes did not send their representatives on time, due to internet problems and because National Electoral Council (CNE) preferred to train the current representatives first.
The purpose of the review is to clarify a number of reasonable doubts that candidates for elected positions present through challenges.
Until yesterday, NPP received 103 complaints, of which 15 corresponded to the Liberal Party; 53 to Libertad y Refundación (Free) and 35 to the National Party, a source from the collegiate body reported.
The representative of one of the currents of the Free Party, Cintia García, provoked 70 minutes from La Ceiba, Tela, Jutiapa, Esparta, San Francisco and La Masica, Atlántida department. “There are minutes that have been inflated, places where the load of a thousand people appears with two thousand votes,” he said. In turn, Juan Diego Zelaya, former candidate for mayor of the capital by the nationalist current Juntos Podemos – of Mauricio Oliva – challenged 153 minutes from the central district.
Today, at 12:00 at night, the deadline expires for the candidates who consider themselves affected by alleged adulterations of the results to present their writings.
There are still a number of minutes that have not yet been specified and that have already been scanned and revealed, but which will be reviewed again if set by the full board, reported Marlon Ochoa, co-electoral director.
Review vote by vote
The process involves opening the suitcase and reviewing each vote and comparing it with the initial closing minutes, with the ballot papers and if there are any irregularities, the minutes will be canceled and a new one will be drawn up. “All challenges will be addressed by opening the ballot box to count in detail the election documents and make appropriate crosses,” said Councilor Rixi Monada.
“We have a little over twelve thousand registrations that present problems, which the system rejected because they have different types of errors: in the balance, in the total amount, the number of ballots sent does not match the number of voters, others exceed their volume of vote ”.
