Today, it is a sunny day, in which it is carrying out the electoral process, scheduled from 7 am to 6 pm, whose main character are those citizens who have previously chose at the constituencies meetings, those candidates, who are able to represent the Cuban people at the Municipalities Assemblies of Peoples’ Power.

Today, Cubans  are choosing an amount of 15 093 delegates for the Municipalities Assemblies. This civic and patriotic action constitutes the fulfillment of our duty, our right; whose purpose is to select the worthy representative of our community’s interests at the Municipal Assembly.

Too early in the morning, the children at the 4th constituency in Cerro municipality have joined this event to participate in the electoral process. At about 6 am in the morning, it has raised the Cuban flag in the patio where the elections are taking place; while the members at the electoral tables – all they are women – have gotten ready on their sits and have informed the children’ parents the hours for the children to take care the voting stations.

It has put a Television set at the constituency broadcasting a special programming for the locals who get early in the morning at the turnouts are informed about the elections, and a radio – with Chinese technology- tuning in Radio Reloj station to indicate the citizens about the exactly moment – 7 am - of beginning the turnouts through Cuba.

Today, the Cuban Radio is broadcasting a large coverage about the elections, as a sign of the Cuban Peoples’ unity and patriotism. In the case of Radio Rebelde station, it is airing the figures of the voters each hour to be delivered by those members in charge of the electoral tables to their higher representatives. Likewise there are journalists who are broadcasting from the country and remote regions in Cuba.

Last night, the distinguished Cuban Orchestra “Los Van Van” provided a concert at “Tribuna antimperialista” grandstand and called their fans for their vote, early in the morning. For this reason voters are very pleased and motivated to exercise their votes early in the morning. Mayito Rivera, the singer of the Cuban orchestra have encouraged me to vote early for giving example to our children, as well as for our country and this revolution which has been our main reason to live in Cuba.
