Atamind pointed out that in the first two and a half hours of the election process, 100% of the voting boards had been installed and 12.5% of the voters had already cast their ballots.
Similarly, he also announced the launch of election data transfer.
“In this sense, it is the commitment of the country to continue to disseminate and process all minutes without hindrance on the 24 Provincial Electoral Boards and the Special Committee on Foreign Affairs,” he said.
On election day, long lines of voters were no longer visible outside most polling stations, however, there were events that required police intervention.
