In spite of the proclaimed success of yesterday?s electoral exercise, three deaths were directly attributed to the voting process, while 11 others were injured. Today?s papers say that the three dead were all political activists for the two principle parties in these elections. Two of the dead were PRD party supporters and the third was a PLD official assigned to a polling station at the Virgilio Pelaez School on Duarte Street in Villa Estela, Barahona. Three other individuals were hurt in the disturbance. A total of eight others were injured in La Romana, on the highway between Castanuelas and Las Matas de Santa Cruz, Montecristi, Santo Domingo East, Puerto Plata and the Capotillo barrio of Santo Domingo. Apparently, former presidential legal council Guido Gomez Mazara was involved in an incident in La Romana when his voting credentials were requested. Other incidents were reported, involving provincial governors, armed bands of men demanding voter registration documents and illegal alcohol sales.
