CNE president Alina Balsiero told reporters that more than 14,000 Electoral Commissions are being set up in the same number of constituencies throughout the country.
 
The members of the commissions at all levels are currently being trained while the electoral registers are being checked, said the official.
 
Neighbors will hold assemblies to nominate their candidates in September by proposing those they consider with most abilities to govern them. Once elected by the neighbors, the candidates’ biographies and photos will be put on public display for electors to choose.
 
After this process concludes, the election of the Provincial Assemblies and the Deputies for the National Parliament will take place.
