15 thousand justices of the peace
The National Electoral Council (CNE) had 4,817 voting centers, in which 15 thousand main judges and another 15 thousand substitutes will be elected among the 52,288 candidates who are registered to participate in the electoral contest.
The election began at 8:00 in the morning and had a closing time of 6:00 pm. In order to know their voting center, voters had to use the website of the Ministry of Communes and not that of the CNEas appropriate, since the National Electoral Council page has been “hacked” for four months and 17 days after the presidential elections of July 28, and therefore there is no record of any published results.
During a press conference at the Bolívar Theater in Caracas, members of the National Electoral Commission for the election of Justices of the Peace reported that around 11:00 am, 99% of the polling stations were already open. “There are some tables missing that should be open in remote locations and we will be at 100%. A protocol is complied with that opens all voting stations and provides that all voting centers are ready for voters to attend,” said the rector of the CNE, Carlos Quintero, as recorded by VTV.
The spokesperson for the National Electoral Commission, Pedro Infante, invited people to vote in order to elect the people who will administer and impart justice in the community. The coordinator of this Commission, Tanía D’Amelio, specified that starting in January the training process begins “and then the swearing-in and accreditation process by the Supreme Court of Justice so that they are identified and also certified.”
This election was organized by the Ministry of Communes and citizens from 15 years of age and older will be able to vote. At each voting center there will be the names of the candidates and their assigned numbers. While the indigenous communities will have their own systems for electing justices of the peace, adjusted to their norms.
Each voter will be able to vote for up to three candidates to decide for 15,000 main judges and more than 15,000 substitutes.
