A guide prepared for the 6 October 2019 simultaneous primary with the participation of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) and Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) presidential pre-candidates is now available online.
The Central Electoral Board (JCE) says that 11,427 pre-candidates will participate. This is 6,710 for the PLD and 4,717 for the PRM. The primary is costing RD$2.4 billion. The voting stations will be open from 8am to 4pm.
The JCE says that 44,232 delegates of the PLD and the PRM will be staffing the 7,372 voting stations located in 3,890 voting centers nationwide. The voting stations will be run by 36,860 persons. The JCE is assigning 8,150 technicians to ensure the operation of the voting machines.
The JCE says it will run a test vote on Sunday, 8 September. For the test run, 20,000 party members will staff voting stations and 4,000 electoral technicians will be on hand to ensure the operation of the new automated voting machines. This is the same equipment that will be used in the February 2020 municipal elections and the May 2020 presidential and congressional elections.
