The national Government announced that the National Electoral Justice decided to replace those polling station authorities that made mistakes during the primary elections vote count on August 14th.
Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo told State run news agency télam that the National Electoral Justice will replace those authorities in whose polling stations irregularities were detected.
Randazzo’s announcement is expected to be confirmed by a resolution signed by the judges of the National Electoral Board. Those polling station authorities that did not respect the requirements of the Electoral Code for the drawing up of the telegrams that are sent through the Correo Argentino post from schools to courts will be replaced.
A few days after the primaries, several opposition leaders that those polling station authorities that committed mistakes are penalized. The Government sidestepped the designation of polling station authorities, and the Judiciary clarified that the assignation of the authorities is done with the Supreme Court’s computer programme.
La Plata judge Manuel Blanco admitted that there were “serious irregularities during the provisional vote count but “defended the polling stations authorities’ assignment. “If the authorities are randomly and impartially assigned, and they don’t fulfill their duties and the Correo Argentino designates other kind of people neither the Supreme Court’s system nor the Judiciary branch I belong to are to blame,” Blanco stated.
