The Dominican delegation headed by Dr. Ramòn Hilario Espiñeira, Secretary General of the JCE explained to the CEP, the experience of the Dominican electoral body, in the application of electronic voting based on biometric identification of voters. She also presented the equipment and its technical characteristics used in the Dominican last poll in May 2016, as well as other information on programming software in relation to the electoral register of any country that would like be the user.
On the sidelines of exchanges and technical demonstration, it was agreed between representatives of the two electoral bodies, to continue to discuss and pursue technical demonstrations, in order to reach a broader understanding of the application in Haiti.
For the moment no cooperation agreement has been signed between the two electoral bodies around a possible pilot project. However, a draft agreement could come soon, between the CEP and the Dominican Junta Central Electoral, in the perspective of a technical partnership.
