Cuba is developing today the dynamic test with a view to the national elections on March 26, when the 470 deputies to the National Assembly of People’s Power (parliament) will be elected.
This Sunday’s exercise will initially consist of practical verification in the schools and in each of the structures where the lighting conditions, documentation, communications, space to exercise the vote were created.
Next, a practical exercise will be carried out with ballots that will not bear the names of the candidates, which will include scrutiny and the transmission of the votes, recently detailed the vice president of the National Electoral Council (CEN), Tomás Amarán.
Amarán pointed out that the 23,468 polling stations and the almost 200,000 people involved in the elections will be activated to get the system ready.
According to the CEN spokesperson, Marina Carbó, all these actions are aimed at ensuring that the elections are organized and transparent as established by the electoral law in the country.
In this sense, he highlighted the participation of children and young people in the elections, in the case of the first, around 140,000 will be the custodians of the ballot boxes, a singularity of the suffrages in Cuba.
Meanwhile, a similar number of students from secondary and higher education will work as collaborators, observing the correct performance of the 26th.
Carbó granted a relevant role to the dissemination of the biographies of the candidates through the media, because although they are exposed in public places in the communities, all efforts to make them known are valid.
Next Sunday, March 26, Cubans will elect their deputies to parliament, for which it is necessary for them to know their merits and trajectory, since in the Caribbean nation there are no electoral campaigns.
Those who are elected will be in charge of electing the president and vice president of the country and continue with the legislative development of the Constitution. (Latin Press)
