Scheduled for Sunday, the municipal elections were suspended because all the candidates did not appear on the screens of electoral machines in " about half " of the polling stations.
" If a ballot paper is incomplete (and does not represent) all of the parties, this election cannot be held for elementary reasons ", said the president of the electoral authority, Julio César Castaños, assuring that 'a' detailed investigation 'was to be launched.
This flaw occurs three months before the presidential election, scheduled for May 17 in the Dominican Republic.
