OAS to send 60 observers for May 20 elections

Santo Domingo.- Around 60 observers headed by Uruguay ex president Tabaré Vásquez will be the Organization of American States (OAS) delegation that will come to the country to observe the May 20 presidential election.

An agreement signed in Washington yesterday by Central Electoral Board president Roberto Rosario and OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza stipulates the conditions for the Electoral Observation Mission’s (MOE) work in the presidential election’s first balloting and – if needed- a runoff scheduled for June 30.

Among others areas, the agreement allows the OAS to monitor the JCE’s Informatics Center, the transmission and scrutiny, as well as access to all the affidavits.
