The deputy Gonzalo de la Carrera returned to the charge against the Electoral Service (Servel) and reiterated that the body presents irregularities by including deceased people in the register, facing the Exit Plebiscite of the new Constitution.
“Servel’s big lie is that a death certificate is not needed for those over 90 who have not renewed their cell in 11 years. Even if they have died in Taiwan or Bolivia, it is not necessary,” said the former Republican, in conversation with Radio Biobio.
De la Carrera denounces that they appear dead with 200 years in the electoral register and assured that many times they are supplanted to vote, lashing out the explanations of the Servel.

For his part, the president of the organization, Andrés Tagle, indicated that it is not new that the electoral roll includes elderly people who can be assumed to be deceased, and explained that this occurs because they die outside of Chile or old deaths that do not have been incorporated into the Civil Registry, not being notified in the Servel.
On the other hand, according to the aforementioned media, Tagle ruled out that these identities can be supplanted, since in all the polling places there are experts in civil registry identification, who verify by fingerprint.
“Given this procedure that prevents the impersonation of possibly deceased voters, it is the reason that the Electoral Service has been prudent in not eliminating voters from the rolls until it has formal certainty of their deaths,” he explained.
