Persons held in prisons without the last sentence may vote on national election days in accordance with forecast approved this morning in the Constitutional Commission Congress.

Initiative changes articles 65, 239, 240 and 241 Organic electoral law. Among the changes it is also proposed to extend the opening hours election trip from 07:00 to 17:00

In this sense, persons deprived of their liberty and prosecuted without final conviction will be able to vote in the prisons in which they are held.

Therefore, according to the proposal, they will establish voting tables in penitentiaries upon prior agreement with the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) and the National Directorate of Electoral Processes (ONPE).

The initiative also specifies that the officials of the penitentiary center, where the electoral process will take place, “will be members of the table for receiving votes.”

“This form of voting is applicable only in electoral processes of a national character. In addition, in order to exercise this right, these citizens must present their national identity document (DNI), and polling station members must not accept other documents,” the proposal says.

In addition, it is stated that if those convicted without a final conviction are considered lowered, they must pay a statutory fine, and may also apply for exemption from voting rights.
