Cozumel Prison Election

 

Cozumel Prison Hosts First Ever Presidential Election for Non-Sentenced Inmates

Last week 47 prisoners at the Cozumel Facility participated in their right to cast a Presidential vote.  Non-sentenced inmates are allowed to vote in political elections, under the new  “Early Voting Mechanism for People in Preventive Prisons”.

 

Prisoners began casting their ballots Tuesday in a vote for the next president of Mexico. The incarcerated islanders were escorted to INE voting booths by jail guards in small groups Tuesday and Wednesday to cast their votes.

Cozumel is one of the 11 municipalities of Quintana Roo participating in the special inmate votes.

Voting will continue until May 20, which will end in the Chetumal Penitentiary.

 

Por primera ocasión, se llevarán a cabo las votaciones en el Centro Penitenciario de Cozumel para reclusos no sentenciados

La semana pasada 47 reclusos del Reclusorio de Cozumel, participaron de su derecho a emitir su voto para la elección de presidente. A los reclusos no sentenciados se les permite emitir su voto en las elecciones políticas conforme el nuevo Mecanismo de Voto Anticipados para Personas en Prisión Preventiva.

 

El martes los reclusos comenzaron a emitir sus votos para la elección de la presidencia de México. Tanto el martes como el miércoles, los isleños encarcelados fueron escoltados en pequeños grupos  a las casillas de votación del INE por guardias de la cárcel.

 

Cozumel es uno de los 11 municipios de Quintana Roo que participan en votos especiales de los reclusos.

 

La votación continuará hasta el 20 de mayo, terminando en el reclusorio de Chetumal.
