(PRESS RELEASE) – Although it is preliminary data, 7,608,434 Cubans exercised their right to vote on Sunday, representing 85.94% of the total, after updating the lists, which accounted for 8 855 213 voters, Alina Balseiro GutiĆ©rrez, president of the National Electoral Commission (CEN) informed in a press conference.

He noted, regarding the quality of the vote, that 91.79% of the ballots were valid, a figure that exceeds the results of the previous process, while 4.12% were deposited in blank and 4.07% were canceled. The provinces with the best valid ballot indexes were Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo, Las Tunas, Granma and Sancti SpĆ­ritus. Alina Balseiro reiterated that 24 365 schools were activated and that due to the heavy rains in some territories, the CEN decided to extend until 7:00 p.m. the closing time of the votes.

11 415 delegates were elected. 1 100 districts, of the 12 515 existing, will go next Sunday to the second round of elections, because in these cases there was a tie or none of the candidates won more than half of the valid votes issued. Of the delegates elected, he said, 35.47% are women and 14.36% are young.
