Colón: Big turnout after rain, Luciani’s list queried over blue print | OneFootball

The elections are taking place at C.A. Colón 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 process.

The electoral event included a specific complaint against Ricardo Luciani's list, which we detail below, for having printed a blue color on their ballots. This issue will have to be resolved by the Electoral Board once the voting is over. Surely, if this list turns out to be the loser, there will be no major issues, but if it is the winner, it will be up to the election authorities to decide, since the other lists reported it for 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 for irregularities in Ricardo Luciani's list ballots be formally recorded.

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

-That all the questioned ballots be removed from the tables.

-That absolutely all votes cast with paperwork that does not comply with the regulations (black and white) be challenged.

-That the possibility to demand the annulment of the electoral process and to file complaints for fraud 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 being altered”

The complaint claims 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,” since the impact would already have occurred.

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