Colón: Big turnout after rain, Luciani's list queried for blue print | OneFootball

The elections at C.A. Colón are underway with a good turnout of voters from 11 a.m. onwards. Earlier, the rain caused a significant drop and a low percentage of voters in the first 3 hours of the voting.

The electoral process faced a specific complaint against Ricardo Luciani's list, which we detail below, for having blue printed on their ballots. This issue will need to be resolved by the Electoral Board once the voting concludes. Surely, if this list loses, there won't be major issues, but if it wins, it will be up to the election authority to decide, as the other lists have reported irregularities and requested the removal of their ballots, something that ultimately did not happen.

THE PETITION

- In the document, the representatives make five specific requests to the Electoral Board:

- That the complaint about irregularities in Ricardo Luciani's list ballots be formally recorded.

- That the electoral process be suspended until the situation is resolved.

- That all questioned ballots be removed from the tables.

- That all votes cast with non-compliant paperwork (black and white) be completely annulled.

- That the possibility of demanding the annulment of the electoral process and filing fraud charges be left open.

The text was signed by representatives of various groups, stating their position and requesting an urgent resolution “to prevent the entire election from being rendered null and void.”

“The will of the voters is altered”

The complaint asserts that the use of color on the ballots modifies and directs the electoral intention, creating an undue advantage in the voting booth. They point out that “it is not acceptable to wait until the end of the day to challenge,” as the impact would already have been made.

They do not hesitate to speak of “electoral fraud” and believe it to be a premeditated maneuver.
