Here we explain a chronology of the electoral process 2021 of Honduras
It should be noted that The National Electoral Council requested an extension of the budget that would be between 600 and 800 million lempiras, in addition to the 1,760 million approved by the National Congress in December 2020, to hold the primary elections on March 14 and the general elections.
The Legislature issued on Wednesday (07.21.2021) the opinion to discuss the approval of 800 million lempiras to carry out the electoral process on November 28, 2021.
With these funds, the National Electoral Council intends to implement a Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission System (TREP), a fingerprint system and an electoral certificate that can be digitized from the voting center.
However, the National Electoral Council has a deadline until Tuesday, July 27 to contract the company that will provide the results transmission services three hours after the voting, as established by the Electoral Law.
The ruling for the National Electoral Council to carry out the direct purchases and the hiring of the company that the TREP will provide is not ready in Congress, so there is a risk that the general elections in November will be carried out without technology, and have elections such as those from before, counting ballot by ballot.
In this sense, Zambrano pointed out that the rulings to approve the budget, the direct hiring of the CNE and the budget for the National Registry of Persons (RNP) are ready to continue with the enrollment process and delivery of the National Identification Document ( DNI).
