The Junta Central Electoral, the government body in charge of organizing presidential elections in the DR, announces it will be holding an electoral simulacrum on Saturday, 25 March and Sunday, 26 March. Political campaigning is banned while the exercise lasts. The idea is to assist voters to determine where they are assigned to vote, and so that these may verify their data and photographs contained on the new electoral lists. The JCE says that more than 3.8 million Dominicans are eligible to vote in the upcoming 16 May 2000 presidential election.
