The Junta Central Electoral set 16 April as the new deadline for the delivering of the identification/voting cards (cedulas) to Dominican citizens. The JCE considers the new deadline sufficient time for the 600,000 citizens that still have not gotten their cards to get these. The Partido Revolucionario Dominicano and the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana had requested that the JCE set a new deadline. The JCE had previously upon postponing the deadline, said it would be delivering the cedulas until the day before the election, or 15 May.
