More offices to get the cedula
The Central Electoral Board (JCE) announced that Dominicans can now request their new IDs (cedulas) at more JCE offices nationwide. In a first phase the IDs were only being issued at the offices located in main cities. The JCE said it has opened additional offices in La Romana, Bayaguana, Consuelo, Monte Plata, Quisqueya, Ramon Santana, Sabana Grande De Boya, San Jose de Los Llanos, Yamasa, Bavaro, El Seibo, Guaymate, Hato Mayor, Higuey, Miches, Sabana de La Mar, San Rafael del Yuma and Villa Hermosa. For residents in the southern regions, the offices at Cambita Garabitos, Nizao, Bani, Sabana Grande de Palenque, Sabana Yegua, San Cristobal, and many others have been opened, as reported in Diario Libre.
The IDs need to be secured in time for the 2016 national elections. The JCE is also sending mobile units to large companies for the issuing of the new IDs to company employees.
