He Minister of the Electoral Court, Joseph Korzeniakforesees delays in announcing the results of the runoff 2024 In case of a very tight difference between the presidential candidate of the Broad Front (FA), Yamandu Orsiand that of National Party (P.N.), Alvaro Delgado.
This Thursday, the official assured on Channel 10 that if the vote were “very even” and depended technically on the observed votesas happened in 2019 in the second round between Luis Lacalle Pou and Daniel Martinezthere would be difficulties in quickly communicating a winner.
“As the observed votes are only scrutinized in the departmental scrutiny and not in the primary one carried out by the Vote Receiving Commissions in front of the delegates when voting hours end, it is likely that there will be difficulties in saying who won,” Korzeniak confirmed.
Regarding when the first data from the primary scrutiny will be available, the Minister of the Electoral Court said that they hope to hear from them 1 and a half or 2 hours after the vote counting begins.
“The departmental scrutiny begins on Tuesday, we must scrutinize the votes observed, everything that remained to be resolved, the discrepancies between the minutes transmitted, all the resources, and only then does it end,” Korzeniak continued explaining about a process that “probably” ends on Wednesday the 27th or Thursday the 28th.
The Electoral Court expects the usual average of about 40,000 votes observed
Regarding the observed votes, Korzeniak confirmed that the Electoral Court expects the usual average of about 40,000 votes observed nationwide.
Regarding these, Korzeniak explained: “In the rural circuits they can vote in each department, within the same department in another rural circuit if they are registered in another and the custodians if they are carrying out custodial work outside the circuit that corresponds to them.”
