Organismo responsable del registro electoral

Pregunta	¿Cuál es la autoridad responsable del registro de votantes para las elecciones nacionales?
Answer:	d. Organismo electoral (especifique)
Respuestas	Law No. 73 on Exercising Political Rights covers the registration of voters for elections and referenda. It does not specifically say that this registration is conducted by the Ministry of Interior, rather that, “Regulations . . . shall also mention how electoral lists will be prepared, their content, revision, amendment, posting, the areas where lists will be kept, the formation of the committees which will be charged with registration, and other details mentioned in this law.” However, the role of the Ministry of Interior in managing these voter lists is implicit in the Law No. 73, with the Ministry of Interior being informed of decisions to deprive or suspend someone’s right to vote (article 7), requests for changes being made to the Security Directorate (article15), the Security Directorate being represented on the committee which deals with applications to change registration data (article 16), and the results of appeals to the decisions of this committee being sent to the Security Directorate (article 20). In fact, the management of the voter lists is conducted entirely by the Ministry of Interior. This is made more explicit in the State Information Service’s “Handbook to the 2005 People’s Assembly Election”. This states that “Voter registration is undertaken by committees established by the Ministry of Interior, under guidelines established by the High Election Commission”, and that “In order to register, voters must visit the local police station with which they are listed”.
