Magistrate Julio Olivo presented a brief to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, in which he requests that the right of surveillance be guaranteed for all political parties during the final scrutiny. In addition, he asked to verify the number of guards assigned to each table.
Olivo highlighted that based on article 214 of the Electoral Code, the final scrutiny must be carried out based on the minutes issued from each of the 8,562 Vote Receiving Boards, but that because these minutes might not be transmitted from the JRV, the collegiate entity agreed to carry out a final scrutiny process with the opening of all electoral packages.
Given this, the magistrate recommended to the collegiate entity: Guarantee the right to electoral surveillance to all political institutes; verify the number of guards accredited for each match, reviewing each credential before starting work at each table; regulate the entry of people outside the scrutiny and prevent them from interfering in the work; organize the number of security guards and observers credentials to avoid overcrowding.
In addition, it recommended that the Court “seriously” schedule complaints of data manipulation and any interference or alteration carried out by the personnel in charge of typing and dictations, watchdogs of the political parties, deducing responsibilities in cases where the facts are proven. .
Finally, Olivo called for the scrutiny process to be carried out with complete transparency, in accordance with international standards, and above all the Electoral Code and Constitution of the Republic.
