OAS: Massive Participation of Bolivians in Local Elections of Plurinational State
April 4, 2010
The Mission of Electoral Observation of the Organization of American States (EOM/OAS) that followed the departmental and municipal elections of Bolivia today deployed 50 observers in the 9 departments of the country. At 8:30 in the morning, they submitted their first report on what was happening in the electoral process from their observation locations.
The OAS observers’ report describes the circumstances under which the observed voting tables were opened and the electoral process was set in motion. In this way, following initial collected data, the EOM OAS may state the following:
• On average, observed tables opened at 08:12.
• Ninety-eight percent of observed tables carried the indispensable materials for voting.
• Eighty-six percent of observed tables had all their members.
• Representatives of diverse political parties were present in the observed voting tables, in the following percentages: MAS, 76%; MSM, 17%; MNR, 10%; UN, 12%; PAIS, 10%, Consenso Popular, 10%; Verdes 12%, and Alianza Verde, 7%. Other parties, 17%.
• Voter registration lists were visible in 82 percent of tables.
• Spaces in voting places were considered adequate 83 percent of the time.
• Security forces were present in or near observed voting places in a high percentage of cases.
• Some 74 percent of voters in observed tables had adequate information about the location of their voting table.
The EOM OAS also notes that, unlike the December 2009 elections, there was less perceived confusion among voters regarding where they had to vote at the beginning of election day. It is important to recall that this is the second time elections are conducted under the new system of distribution of voting tables.
This election is in strict compliance with the constitutional norms established by the Bolivian people upon approving the new Bolivian foundational Charter. Doubtless, the nature of these elections unlike the December elections allows citizens to express their preferences for who are the closest
