- Ninety-Seven Per Cent Turnout in Cuban Elections
-
- Some 97.2 per cent of registered voters cast votes in Cuban
- elections on Dec. 20, according to the president of the Election
- Commission, Carlos Amat. Fidel Castro said this demonstrated the
- people's confidence in the government and that Cuba will survive
- the worst economic difficulties the island has experienced in over
- thirty yeras. Regional elections resulted in 13,600 new municipal
- councils. All the candidates belong to the Communist Party or were
- aproved by the Party. Over 200,000 registered voters did not vote.
- However, Juan Aizperua, vice president of the Election Commission
- said, "This is nothing." One voter, who said to call him Roberto
- Hernandez, said he cast an invalid vote as a protest. National and
- legislative elections will take place in February of 1993. (edlp
