Judge Noel Orellana said the Treasury Department has agreed not to cut funding for audits.
Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) Magistrate Noel Orellana asserted that one of the demands they made to Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya was “mainly not to reduce the problem of electoral audits.”
“There was a lot of recognition because the audit role is very basic for the Tokyo Stock Exchange,” said an official. Orellana assured that some sectors have filed charges and that they intend to dispel any doubts.
“We’re working hard to make this process transparent. One of the challenges is voting from abroad,” an official told Finance Committee representatives.
National elections are held on February 4th and March 5th.
On February 4th, they elect the President, Vice President, and members of the Legislative Assembly. On March 5th, the Central American Congress and 262 local councils met.
Abroad, elections will run for 30 days and will begin in January, one month before February 4th, by remote electronic voting that can be exercised by overseas residents. The face-to-face ceremony will be held only on February 4th.
