The electoral college integrated by nearby acquaintances, will look for our name in a record previously made. We will vote only for one of the candidates, for free election. Also well-known and even more now, later that a few days ago we had the opportunity of reading his/her biography or to listen to the argumentation of his/her proposal, if it agrees with the one that recently we nominate in our area. In minutes, we will have exercised the democratic and transcendent right of voting, that is equivalent to governing.
If we wish it, at the end of the school, we will be able to attend the scrutiny and later know the outcomes of the voting. If there is no need for the second turn, this day we will have chosen the delegate of our constituency, also our representative to the Municipal Assembly, maximum power organ in this level, to which we will have access in its moment by means of the processes of account capitulation of the delegate to its electorate.
Everything looks very simple, even if we are exercising a right endorsed in the article 21, section 1 to 3 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights approved by the General Assembly of the UNO in 1948, turned into juridical norm by our Socialistic Constitution and the Electoral Law 72 and made possible thanks to the program of the Moncada.
The right to the universal, active and passive suffrage, means the right of all the citizens to choose and to be chosen, without distinction of race, sex, religious belief or social position, expressed by means of free, equal and secret vote in authentic and democratic elections like those that we will carry out next April 19.
There will be present at the ballot boxes a population of educated electorate, of socially emancipated women, of young people interested by their social project, of military men who are the uniformed people, of the people of the country or the city, of children, who although they do not vote, guard the ballot boxes and dignify our electoral process.
Our elections will be simple because we are and we will be a people that governs, a people that takes its destinies, a people in Revolution.
