What I wanted to say that poeople in say....Veron/Bavaro, did not have the photo of Karina printed on their voting ballots, they had a photo of Manolito (PLD).
I don't necessarily disagree with you. I just pointed out that the political party law, AFAIK, is not looking into such issues. They fall within the scope of a prospective law of territorial organization which is being considered by the Dominican congress.
I wouldn't mind if the rural areas had a provincial 'mayor' just for them and their issues, and then the towns and municipal districts would have their own individual mayors just for themselves.
Currently the governor is appointed by the President and has a very limited role. Maybe an elected governor could play the role of the provincial "rural mayor".
