Registrar Alexander Vega will answer to Congress for failures in the pre-count of elections

Multiple irregularities were presented in the last March 13 elections that defined the House and Senate in the country. Errors in the precount and software meant that when carrying out the counting, collectivities that had discounted votes from them had at the end the seats that reported missing.

This caused the Conservative Party to summon National Registrar Alexander Vega for next Tuesday, April 5, to a control debate before the Congress of the Republic. The irregularities they will mainly discuss will be the multiple failures when it comes to pre-counting, the way voting juries are chosen and the transparency of the company Indra, which provided the counting software.

According to the La W radio station, the control appointment was scheduled for this week, but because Vega did not answer some questions asked by the president of the Senate and the conservative bench, it had to be postponed until the control debate until April 5.

He was also asked for a report with the allegations of electoral crimes that have been reported. The debate that will be attended by the Ombudsman, the Attorney General, the Attorney General and the Director of the Police and Army Commander will be broadcast on the Congress Channel and the Institutional Channel.

New changes in voting juries: National Registrar Alexander Vega, questioned by the multiple irregularities that occurred in the March 13 elections, announced changes for this coming Sunday, May 29, the day of presidential voting.

Vega reported that a change will be generated in the E-14 forms, which led to the scandal in the pre-counting and counting scandal, and also mentioned that changes will be made about the voting juries and the training that will be given to them.

“We are going to make a new draw with much deeper training and we will ensure that no table is homogeneous in the country, they will be heterogeneous, and we will vary the application sectors, prioritizing that of political parties, which will have all the guarantees to nominate their candidates for voting juries”, mentioned registrar Vega.

He also commented on how to prevent irregularities from occurring, such as those denounced by the Historical Pact where several polling places did not present a single vote for this group, demonstrating failures in the juries or the Registrar's software.

“If there is any alarm that a candidate comes with zero votes, in real time we will audit and control so that juries not only include data, figures or votes well, but so that transmitters can read the information well,” said Registrar Vega.

Another situation that Vega emphasized was the possible change to the E-14 card, which would mark the blank spaces with an asterisk, thus avoiding suspected frauds such as those reported multiple times.
