Thanks to special polling stations, every Cuban eligible to vote can do so wherever they are in the national territory this Sunday. Dozens of passengers of the Havana-Morón train did so, at polling station No.1, constituency 19, located in the Viet Nam Heroico semi-boarding school, very close to the city’s train station.

According to teacher María de los Ángeles Arboláez Quevedo, chairperson of this polling station, voting has occurred without any setbacks and it is also expected that a large number of passengers of the Havana-Bayamo-Manzanillo train service will vote here.

Adonis Portuondo Montero, from Baragúa municipality; Luis Leiva Marín, from Camagüey; and Yunier Martínez Guillot, from Santiago de Cuba, are among those who have taken advantage of this special polling station to exercise their right to vote. They expressed their gratitude for the initiative.

The province of Villa Clara also has special polling stations located in the Arnaldo Milián Castro and Mariana Grajales hospitals, in Santa Clara and the Mártires del 9 de Abril Hospital in Sagua la Grande, to allow staff and patients to vote; and in Cayo Santa María, for those working in the construction of tourist facilities and services.

A total of 1,548 polling stations opened their doors in the province, according to Julio Ramiro Lima Corzo, first Party secretary in Villa Clara, and candidate for deputy to the National Assembly, who voted at polling station no.44 in Isabela de Sagua.
