“2. AUTORIZAR a la Direcci?n General de Registro Electoral la inclusi?n de las fotograf?as de los electores en el Padr?n Electoral.”
Comment
The Supreme Tribunal for Electoral Justice (TSJE) ruled for the inclusion of the electors’ photos in the electoral roll to make the elections more transparent, and that was done with the transference of the photographic database from the Department of Identifications to the Department of Informatics of the TSJE for it to be included in the Electoral Registry.
