However, if there is no second round in the DF or nationally, classes will take place normally on that date.

Those responsible for institutions hosting polling stations must maintain normal operations. Staff designated for administration need to be present at the location starting at 7 am to receive the electronic ballot boxes.

First Round

In this electoral poll, voters will vote for positions of district deputy, federal deputy, two senators, governor, and president.
