The disorganized manner in which political parties presented their lists of candidates for the 16 May congressional and municipal elections has forced the Central Electoral Board (JCE) to extend the deadline from midnight on the 17 March to tonight. Diario Libre reports that none of the political parties have presented their complete documentation, which is being used to try to change candidates. PQDC has already presented a complaint, alleging that the PRD did not comply with their alliance pact in four provinces and 16 municipalities. Protests continue within the PRSC about the exclusion of candidates, and PRD President Ramon Alburquerque admitted that some candidates had been “sacrificed”. Some of the problems that have arisen include incomplete lists of candidates in many municipalities, documentation not signed by a notary, the lack of minutes of conventions or the publication of the calls for meeting, missing photographs of candidates, incomplete names, incomplete quota for women, and copies of the candidate’s identification cards.
