The Senate has ratified the current members of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) for a new four-year term, with a single change in its composition.
During a session on Wednesday, 6 November 2024, 25 senators voted overwhelmingly to approve the reappointment of Román Jáquez Liranzo as president of the JCE. In addition to Jáquez, Dolores Altagracia Fernández, Samir Chami Isa and Rafael Amado Vallejo Santelises were confirmed as full members of the electoral body.
Hirayda Fernández Guzmán is the only newcomer to the five-member JCE team. She was named to fill the fifth and final seat, replacing Patricia Lorenzo. Fernández Guzmán had previously served as an alternate member for Chami Isa during the past term.
The Senate appointed or confirmed alternate members of the JCE. Prado López Cornielle will continue in his role as an alternate, this time stepping in for President Jáquez Liranzo. Anibelca Rosario, who had been serving as an alternate, will now replace Fernández Guzmán when necessary.
Other new alternates are Iván Feliz Vargas, who will replace Samir Chami Isa; Cristian Perdomo Hernández, who will serve in place of Dolores Altagracia Fernández; and Tony Tejada, who will take over for Rafael Vallejo Santelises.
The JCE has on agenda the major task of replacing the local identity and voting cards in 2025.
