Cuba Ready for Assemblies to Nominate Candidates

Havana, August 28 (acn) Everything is ready in Cuba for the successful 
development of the process of nomination of candidates for municipal 
and provincial assemblies scheduled for September 1-26.

Sources of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) told CAN that this 
will be one of the most important moments of the general elections that 
will take place on October 21st across the island.

On this occasion, there are a total of 15,236 electoral districts and 
as many electoral commissions at that level that will be in the hands 
of more than 76,000 citizens.

More than 50,630 areas of nomination were created on this occasion, 
9,000 more than during the process of 2005.

As part of the preparation for the electoral process, the members of 
all the commissions participated in preparatory seminars on the 
Electoral Law, the Record of Electors, the Law-Decree 248 on the System 
of Identification and the principles and ethics of elections.

The Cuban government formally called for general elections on July 9.

the provincial delegates and the parliamentary deputies will be elected 
in the second stage.
