Chihuahua, Chih.- The State Electoral Institute (IEE) is ready to organize the three extraordinary elections ordered by the State Electoral Tribunal (TEE), reported the president of the Commission of Ethnic Groups and Indigenous Peoples of said Institute, Gerardo Macías.
The IEE will be notified by the State Court to hold the elections for the municipalities of Ocampo and Belisario Domínguez; in the first case, Morena – PT and PAN – PRI – PRD tied at 114 votes and in the second, at 535 votes.
Due to the proven loss of the chain of custody of more than 20 percent of the electoral packages and records, the remaining extraordinary election will be for the Ocampo City Council, where the revoked result gave victory to Ana María Sáenz Campos of PAN – PRI – PRD with 1,124 votes, over Rafael Solís of the Labor Party, who obtained 1,207 votes in the first instance.
Once the IEE has been notified, it will have 45 days to organize the pending elections, which according to councilor Macías Rodríguez, could be held with electronic ballot boxes, two or three for each polling station.
These unprecedented results are reminiscent of the Coyame tie in 2013, with the macabre figure of 666 votes between the PAN candidate Roberto Cervantes Ortega and the representative of the PRI – PT – PVEM and Panal coalition, Sergio Álvarez Nieto.
“We have been reviewing and we do not believe that it is a problem that the Institute’s own staff can support the tasks to be carried out in these elections. Without small municipalities, where only a few polling stations are set up… logically it is not just our decision, it is a decision that is made with the INE, in accordance with the powers that we have concurrently,” he concluded.
