The Junta Central Electoral announced that Dominicans that did not secure their voting/identification cards in time for the 15 January deadline may still get these. The document is necessary for legal transactions in the DR. Those that did not meet the deadline, nevertheless, are banned from voting in the 16 May presidential election. The cards for those that were late are being issued at the Centro Empresarial located at the Junta Electoral del Distrito and at the Juntas Electorales in Azua, La Romana and Santiago.
