The vice president of the CNE, Carlos Quintero, announced that on Monday, July 28, three more audits will be conducted after the voting has completed, to confirm the technical accuracy of the process.
He further explained that the audits allow for the validation of the mock voting, the transmission of data, and its correspondence with the tallying system.
