The Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSJE) has taken a significant step to ensure the integrity of the upcoming municipal internal elections on June 7. By signing cooperation agreements with the two dominant political forces, the National Republican Association (ANR) and the Authentic Radical Liberal Party (PLRA), the TSJE demonstrates its commitment to a transparent and reliable electoral process.

These agreements specifically address the implementation and security of the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission (TREP) system, a crucial element for timely and accurate election results. The TSJE's guarantee of using voting machines and ensuring the TREP system's security underscores a dedication to modernizing electoral practices and fostering public confidence.

The fundamental objective is to guarantee the transparency of the process that all political organizations are carrying out.
