This Tuesday, March 29, is the deadline for the registration of ballot papers for the presidential elections that will take place on May 29 and, therefore, the National Registrar informed that, during this weekend, it will provide its attention service throughout the national territory, in order to ensure that Colombians can carry out this procedure.
According to the state entity, this Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27, all the special, auxiliary and municipal registrars of the country, will serve from 8:00 in the morning until 6:00 in the afternoon so that citizens can register their ballots.
It is important to remember that the Colombians who must register their ballot papers for the next elections are those who changed their place of residence, be it neighborhood, municipality, department or country; those who have not voted in the elections of the last 30 years, since these citizens are not currently a party of the electoral roll, and those whose identification document was first issued in 1988 and have not yet registered it.
The electoral body also recalled that, until next Tuesday, March 29, Colombians will be able to change their voting positions for the presidential elections, a procedure that is also being carried out at the premises of the National Registry Office.

Thus, the Registrar's Office indicated that, during this Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27, Colombians will be able to take advantage of the extension of the entity's service to change their voting station. Once the procedure has been completed, the institution informed that it will be able to verify its new voting position from April 29, through the website https://wsp.registraduria.gov.co/censo/consultar/.
The entity also reiterated that, “those who have actually changed their voting positions for the past elections of the Congress of the Republic, should not re-register their ballot papers for the presidential elections.”
After the inter-party consultations held in Colombia on March 13, the country officially announced the list of the eight candidates who will compete for the Casa de Nariño on May 29 during the presidential elections.
It should be recalled that, after interparty consultations, the National Registrar's Office reported that, from the Team for Colombia Coalition, the candidate chosen by the Colombians was Federico 'Fico' Gutiérrez, who won 2,161,686 votes, out of the 4,145,691 that the coalition recorded in total.
On the other hand, the electoral body announced that, for the Historical Pact Coalition, the winning candidate was the current Senator for Human Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who registered 4,495,831 votes out of the 5,818,375 that joined that political alliance.
The last candidate to result from the interparty consultations was the former mayor of Medellín, Sergio Fajardo, who won 723,475 votes for the Centro Esperanza Coalition.
Thus, the list of eight presidential candidates is completed by former congressman Ingrid Betancourt; former mayor of Bucaramanga, Rodolfo Hernandez; former mayor of Medellín, Luis Pérez Gutiérrez; current Senator John Milton Rodríguez, and the nephew of the late conservative leader Álvaro Gómez Hurtado, Enrique Gómez Hurtado Martinez.
