'By the time of the tabulation at the polling stations, reports of irregularities were mounting up, constituting real electoral offences,' admitted the National Elections Commission in a statement today.
"By the time of the tabulation at the polling stations, reports of irregularities were mounting up, constituting real electoral offences," admitted the National Elections Commission in a statement today.
The statement was read out to the press by spokesman Paulo Cuinica. In response to these irregularities, he said"under the terms of the law, the district or city courts have jurisdiction to hear appeals in relation to complaints, protests or counter-protests that are not duly satisfied at the polling station and subsequently at the district or city election commissions."
The CNE statement also stresses the cascade system. Votes are counted in the polling station, then those totals are added together by the district election commission, and those totals are added together by the Provincial Elections Commission - which is taking place now. Only then are those added together by the National Elections Commission. The CNE must make a public report of the results in all 65 municipalities by 26 October, and submit that to the Constitutional Council.
