Printing of Election Ballots Begins in Honduras

The Tribunal Supremo Electoral, TSE, yesterday began printing ballots that will eventually fill the order for four million 611 thousand voters to participate in the November 29th elections.

At least six companies are responsible for printing the ballots, and the rest of the electoral documents necessary for election day. In the last election, only half of those registered, voted, but the TSE said they will always print ballots for each person entitled to vote in the National Electoral Census, which in the end, means every citizen has three ballots, one for the presidential, one for the parliamentary, and a third for municipal corporations.

Parties participating in the November 29th elections at this time are: the Liberal Party, the National Party, the Pinu Party, the Christian Democratic Party, and the Democratic Unification Party.

New safety measures have been implemented to ensure ballots cannot be copied.

Numbered bar codes will make each ballot unique. Numbers locate the polling location, department, and municipality, in addition to the individual number of the ballot itself. The logo of the TSE, which can be seen only under ultraviolet light, also ensures that there will be no duplication of ballots.

    Excellent, just make sure there is no space for Zelaya on them, nor Chavez.

    Attn. Administrator, would you post some information on Nicaragua and it becoming possible for Ortega to be re-elected after winning a “judicial battle”?

    And, what does in mean?
