Listín Diario’s Sigma Dos poll showed that 66% of Dominican voters reject the need to hold a second round to elect the President. The system was implemented in 1996 elections and requires a runner up election if any of the candidates fails to reach 50%+1 of the vote. The survey was carried out throughout the national territory from 15-19 June. Eighty-two percent of the voters are also against the segregation of voters by sex. Dominican electoral law, as of 1996, established that women vote in the morning and men vote in the afternoon. Dominicans favored the carnival-like way political campaigning is carried out with 58.7% happy about political caravans and flagging of political flags on streets of corners. Citizens are divided about the state financing political campaigns. 49.7% favored the new motion, while 47.7% is against.
