National Candidacy Commission chief Gisela Duarte explained the voting process to Granma.

'At first, the Assembly must approve the candidacy by a majority of the votes of those present,' Duarte said.

'Subsequently, the president of the municipal assembly submits to vote, individually, each of the proposals. To be included, they should have more than half of the favorable votes of the delegates present.'

Organized by the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba, this action is part of the general election process being carried out by the Caribbean nation.

Between Jan. 22 and March 10, those nominated will begin tours of municipalities to meet locals prior to the March 11 elections by the Council of State.
