The Hamilton Beattie & Staff-Hoy poll that was released yesterday confirmed a growing confidence in the Central Electoral Board and its work. According to today?s Hoy, the survey shows an important rise in voter confidence. In the latest period, 80% of the people questioned expressed a positive attitude towards the work being done by the JCE. This is a 9% rise in favor of the JCE over the data given in the March poll. However, everything is not flowers for the Electoral Board. Only two persons out of five think that the JCE best serves the electorate, while over 50% feel that the JCE serves the interests of the politicians or its own interests. The survey, carried out between the 22nd and 25th of April, showed that there was a drop in voter fears as well. Half of the voters said that fraud would not be an issue, and last month only 38% were positive on this issue, an important 12% increase in voter confidence. Nonetheless, potential voters identified with the PRSC (57%) and PLD (53%) parties continued to express worries as to the possibility of an electoral fraud. Only 23% of the potential PRD voters considered fraud to be an issue.
