The Central Electoral Board (JCE) announced it will carry out a test run of the automated voting system in 27 municipalities of the country. The system will then be used for the 6 October 2019 primaries of the ruling Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) and that of the leading opposition party, the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM).
Some 116,392 voters are convened for the test at 57 voting districts. These are: located in Azua, Bajos de Haina, Barahona, Bayaguana, Cabrera, Cayetano Germosén, El Valle, Esperanza, Hato Mayor, Jarabacoa, Juan de Herrera, La Vega, Las Charcas, Las Guáranas, Mao, Moca, Monte Plata, Nagua, Neyba, Paraíso, Puñal, San Cristóbal, Pimentel, San Juan de la Maguana, Santiago de los Caballeros, Tamayo and Villa González.
Meanwhile, the JCE is running a campaign to teach Dominicans to use the automated voting system.
