Air Force Chief of Staff supports enabling military to vote in national elections. Diario Libre reports that Mayor General Nelson Eladio Marmolejos Acosto believes the decision should result from analysis and serious consideration, though. Former Army Chief Jorge Radhames Zorrilla Ozuna, and former Navy Chief of Staff Euripides Uribe Pequero, despite the ban, both openly campaigned during Hipolito Mejia’s administration. Hoy reports that the majority of members of the Central Electoral Board (JCE), including its president, sustain that Dominican institutions are fragile and not prepared for the police and members of the armed forces to vote in general elections. They believe that the formation the military receive is based on faithful compliance with superior orders and it would be very “risky and dangerous” to modify the Constitution in this sense.
