In all elections there are always six voting juries for each table, among them, there is a president, vice president and member.
The president is the one who must receive the voter’s identity document and verifies it on the E-10 form, that is, the list of voters. Then, the vice president registers each voter on the E-11 form and the member delivers the ballot.
The other jurors, for their part, are substitutes and must watch over the ballot box, help the voter when needed, and deliver the electoral certificate.
