Councilor Hernán Ulloa asks to suspend printing of ballots for the elections
In a letter addressed to the president, he suggested that he make this suggestion to the Military Geographical Institute in order to avoid wasting State resources. “I suggest (…) that you request the Military Geographical Institute (IGM) of the Armed Forces of Ecuador (FFAA) to suspend the printing of electoral ballots, until the final pronouncement of the TCE regarding the complaint for non-compliance with one of its sentences ”.
