In all, 11,876 candidates participated in Regional and Municipal Elections (ERM) of last October 2. They failed to comply with the first delivery of financial information on electoral campaign expenses. Of this group, the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) indicated that 2,448 applicants belong to the northern regions.
The electoral body stressed that the Political Organizations Law (LOP) establishes that candidates have the obligation to render accounts at two moments, one of them during the electoral campaign. However, he claimed that a group of applicants did not.
He explained that the first delivery of financial information corresponds specifically to the contributions, income received and expenses made during the electoral campaign.
