Toledo (EFE).- The 3,104 polling stations in Castilla-La Mancha (100%) have been set up and you can vote normally in these municipal and regional elections.
As reported in a press conference by the Minister of Finance and Public Administration, Juan Alfonso Ruiz Molina, in the first moments after the opening of the polling stations at 9:00 a.m. there were some incidents of a technical nature that were resolved in question of minutes.
Thus, at first, four polling stations, one in Cuenca and 3 in Guadalajara, remained to be communicated due to technical incidents, which were resolved.
In addition, only two incidents of “minor importance” have been registered and also solved, one that has occurred in the capital Guadalajara due to the indisposition of the president of the polling station and who has had to be replaced by a substitute.
In the same way, in Talavera de la Reina there has been a similar incident, also due to the indisposition of the president of a polling station, who has been replaced by a substitute.
Albacete, the earliest province to set up the polling stations
The province that got up the earliest when constituting the polling stations was Albacete, which had already communicated at 8:58 a.m. that all the polling stations were constituted.
The municipality that has set up its polling stations the earliest has been Villalgordo del Júcar, in Albacete, at 8:01 a.m.
The counselor recalled that the 1,590,000 Castilian-La Mancha voters can exercise their right to vote until 8:00 p.m., when the polling stations will close.
With their votes, the autonomous parliament will be configured in the next legislature and the town halls.
The entire electoral process is “perfectly computerized and consequently it will be a precise and reliable follow-up of this entire process that has begun”, Ruiz Molina assured.
“I would therefore like to fundamentally point out the normality with which election day has begun in all of the 1,457 polling stations and at the 3,104 polling stations,” he stressed.
