Election process of CPC members will last one hundred days

After the first five years of existence of the Council for Citizen Participation (CPC for its Spanish acronym), this February 18 begins the process to renovate 14 primary and alternate members of the National Electoral Council (CNE).

This process will take about one hundred days and the Support Commission will be in charge, which is composed of delegates of the electoral councilors and headed by René Maugé, former deputy and coordinator of Political Participation.

According to designation regulations approved by the CNE, applicants will have ten days to register; and the Support Commission will have another ten days to review the compliance with the requirements and prohibitions of applicants.

The contest will be observed by about 180 national supervisors and other delegates of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) and the Inter-American Union of Electoral Organizations (UNIORE), which is intended to “avoid suspicions of political actors,” says the President of the CNE, Juan Pablo Pozo.
