Havana, Jan 9 (Prensa Latina) The Provincial Elections Committee (CEP) will begin working on Saturday after being formed in every Cuban province, where there will be held partial elections to vote for delegates to the Municipal Assemblies.
Elections will take place next April 25 and May 2, in second round, in case that any candidate achieves less than 50 percent of the issued valid votes.
According to the law, the CEP has to designate the members of the Municipal Electoral Committee and to control the elections in electoral districts.
Last January 6, the Cuban Vice President of the Council of State and Ministers Ramiro. Valdes headed the swearing-in ceremony of the National Election Committee (CNE) for the partial elections to vote the delegates to the Municipal Assemblies.
The members of the committee promised to fulfil the task loyal before leaders of the Communist Party of Cuba, mass organizations and military entities in the Jose Marti Memorial.
Ana María Mari Machado, Rubén Pérez Rodríguez and Alina Balseiro Gutiérrez will act as president, vice president and secretary respectively.
The CNE has to ensure that the elections system's principles and regulations apply correctly around the country, said the President of the National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba Ricardo Alarcon.
He highlighted that the voluntary participation of the electors in the next April-May elections will be a demonstration of real democracy.
Delegates have to guide their electors in order to protect and improve the Revolution's work that has withstood the blockade and aggression for more than 50 years.
