While offering statements to the media, Castaños Guzmán emphasized the issue of the voting schedule and the call for people to vote early. “We have a schedule from 7:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon. In Europe it is from 8:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the afternoon and in the United States, it is also from 7:00 to 5:00. We understand that there is no difficulty, we will be waiting for the voters,” he said. At the time, he added that the identification cards of those people who remain in line will be collected once the clock strikes 5:00 in the afternoon.

“The established schedule that we are ratifying, which is from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., that at 5:00 p.m. the certificates of those who were eventually in the ranks will be collected, if is that there is someone to vote, and at 5:30 this was closed and then the count begins.”
