Mission of Electoral Accompaniment of the OAS (MEA/OAS) in Nicaragua
November 3, 2011
The Mission of Electoral Accompaniment of the Organization of American States (MEA/OAS) for the general elections of this Sunday, November 6, in Nicaragua, has been present in the country from the beginning of the month of October, and today it deploys its last group out of a total of 65 observers who will cover the entirety of the national territory.
The elections process unfolds in the context of the activities planned by the authorities, and all the stages programmed on the electoral calendar have been fulfilled.
Nevertheless, there have been some points of tension, which it is hoped may be resolved and will be limited to isolated incidents.
The MEA assumes the obligation of communicating some concerns observed during its field visits. It is advisable to clarify that the Mission only takes into account accusations it witnesses firsthand or facts its members can verify directly.
Thus, and in the said spirit, the MEA notes the following:
The facts verified by the members of the MEA refer to the makeup of the Vote Tallying Committees (“Juntas Receptoras de Votos”) or JRV as well as to the distribution of identity cards.
In Chinandega were observed cases in which proportionality was not respected, that is, political plurality, in the formation of the JRV. There were situations where members of the Committee are said to belong to parties, but in fact they do not.
In Matagalpa, an important number of identity cards—at the time of observation, more than half of the 4151 available—was not delivered.
The MEA informed the corresponding authorities about this type of situation so they may be corrected as soon as possible.
These observations are meant to cooperate with all participating entities in these elections so they may take place without situations that could be objectionable during this Sunday’s voting. In this sense, the flexibility of the time spans decided by the Supreme Electoral Court (CSE) regarding deadlines for the accreditation of party witnesses is a positive element.
The Mission of Electoral Accompaniment expresses its gratitude to the National Authority for the invitation to conduct this work of accompaniment and wishes to report that it is in full capacity to conduct its tasks.
