Cuba Starts Election Process

CUBA, Jan 18, 2010. - Cuba put in motion the partial elections process with massive participation of citizens as expression of its democratic nature.

Cuba's Council of State convened for April 25 municipal elections of the People's Power, an expression of democratic will covering all, from the ballot and organization to the candidates proposal in popular assemblies, starting from February 24.

After setting up over 15,000 commissions in charge of the process and training the commission members, neighbours will be able to check out the registration data to make their nominations.

The winners, depending on their work, will be in office for two years. They are also the grass-root candidates to the National Assembly.

The Constitution approved in 1976 established the ballot guiding lines and, unlike other countries, it will be free from the lobbying by political or economic pressure groups. (Cubaminrex - Prensa Latina)
