Minister of the High Court of Electoral Justice (TSJE) César Rossel announced that the highest electoral body predicts a turnout of 70% in the national elections on April 30. The minister referred to the TSJE’s decision on table voters, which stipulates that each election dossier will have a list with a photo of the voter’s face, with serial number and other information.

In this regard, the judge gave an example that by doing this the electoral court seeks not only to improve voter safety, but also to participate in the upcoming elections. “That resolution is embedded in a safety regulation resolution, which we have removed, it is the only one it contains after complete laboratory tests. We seek security on election day, but also greater participation,” the minister explained in an interview with 1080 AM radio.

With this, TSJE will implement a sequential voting system that aims to speed up the protocol and time for voting at the table on election day. He explained, with this system, the voting process can be carried out by up to three people simultaneously and this not only speeds up, but also increases the level of participation.

“What we want to do right now is a sequential ballot, consisting of one voter in a dark room, another already with ballots in hand to vote, and the others will also be waiting, which is those three people who will move in to be able to help more a lot, so that people wait less,” he said.

By simplifying the voting process, through sequential voting, the TSJE minister gave an example, the participation rate will increase which is a record in the country. “We want to break the record, we believe that we will reach 70%, which is historic in Paraguay, we want at least that 70% turnout, so we implement sequential voting, which will bring a much greater speed, it will happen. so it’s more fluid and less discouraged,” he said.
