The vice president of the CNE indicated that, due to the electoral dynamics, 28,486 positions will be awarded
The vice president of the National Electoral Council, Carlos Quintero, reported this Monday that so far 26,492 main and substitute judges have already been awarded and loaded into the system, which represents 93% of the positions.
He explained that initially there was talk of 30 thousand justices of the peace between principals and substitutesbut due to the electoral dynamics, in which there are circuits that had between 1 and 3 candidates, 1 main judge and a substitute were elected; Circuits that had up to 5 candidates elected two main candidates and a substitute; and other circuits that had 6 or more candidates elected three main candidates and three substitutes, so “we are going to be awarding 28,486 positions.”
He said that within the results of this unprecedented process “we have built an electoral structure of 4,782 circuits made up of more than 43,000 community councils, which will serve as a basis for future elections where the community will have tools for participation.”
Likewise, Quintero explained that yesterday the voting processes lasted until the early hours of the morning waiting for every last voter to vote.
For the rector of the CNE, the people gave “an unprecedented example of the participation that strengthens democracy, and gives the message to the world that Venezuelan men and women are determined to make use of the only mechanism that the Constitution provides to advance in their own transformation process.”
In this way – he said – the CNE has met the last milestone of the democratic program: “We have deployed the automated system so that there are records with the winners of each of the circuits that were awarded with their respective totalization records.”
