The Central Electoral Board (JCE) said it believes that no citizen will be able to vote more than once, even when that person appears more then once on the voter registration rolls. Dr. Juan Carolos Sanchez, the JCE’s director of cedulas (the national ID and Voter Registration card), told the press yesterday that the case of Yovanny de Jesus Pena, who holds three different cedula numbers all bearing the same photograph, is part of a problem that is being cleaned up by the JCE. He explained that such irregularities were caused by the voter registration system that was in place until the year 2000. The new system, in effect since 15 January 2001, will preclude the duplication of voter registration cards. Reporters from Hoy tried unsuccessfully to reproduce cedulas, given the new stringency of the current system. Apparently, in the old system, a careless key-stroke on the computer could generate a duplicate cedula with a different number and the original data. Concerning the case of De Jesus Pena, Dr. Sanchez said that the man only has one card in his possession, despite him appearing in the JCE database with three distinct numbers and being listed on the rosters of three voting stations. The JCE has reported the existence of 16,632 citizens with more than one voter registration.
