Municipal Elections: ANR extends participation by half an hour in San Juan Bautista

In San Juan Bautista, the municipal elections experienced a slight extension at one polling station. The Asociación Nacional Republicana (ANR) party decided to prolong voting by an additional 30 minutes. This decision was made following an agreement among electoral delegates to compensate for a 42-minute delay that occurred at the beginning of the voting process.

The polling station for the Partido Liberal Radical Auténtico (PLRA) concluded its operations punctually at 4:00 PM without any major issues. At this center, 7,500 Liberal affiliates were eligible to vote, but only approximately 25% of them cast their ballots. The process at the PLRA station proceeded smoothly until the end, with attendees applauding as the voting concluded.

At the ANR's designated polling location, the Víctor Natalicio Vasconsellos National College, 34 voting tables were set up for 11,800 registered voters. Despite the initial delay, participation was estimated to be around 45% of the eligible voters. After the access points closed, the table presidents gathered the identity cards of those still waiting in line to ensure everyone could vote in an orderly fashion before the ballot count began.
