Among the 266,000 locations arranged as polling stations, 63 are set in neighbors homes.

The Provincial Electoral Council confirmed to 26 that, this Sunday, a total of 400,000 voters, distributed in 668 constituencies must go to the polls to cast their vote in the referendum on the Family Code.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Among the 266,000 facilities arranged as polling stations, 63 are set in neighbors' homes. Their owners consider it vital to support the process, considered the second most important in the country's legislative history in recent times.

"This is the first occasion that I have given up my house to function as an electoral commission," Nancy Gómez Castro, a member of Committee for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) 3, zone 104, in Alturas de Buena Vista, says. “I was not even in the province when the proposal was made but I gave my approval because I am no longer young and there are some tasks in which I cannot participate, but many others I can.

Mariblanca Ortiz, a member of CDR 11 of Zone 128 also offered her home. "I have been providing it for the elections for several years. I am also part of the electoral table; therefore, I must ensure that the Electoral Law is respected in my house."

Overseeing these polling stations is the responsibility of the Community Work Group. Yamila Viramontes, who lives in Goicuría number 4, between Rafael Martínez and Estrada Palma, receives encouragement from them. She recently resided in the neighborhood but agreed to use her home as one of the voting venues.

"We have had this house in several elections - explains Idalmis Velázquez Licea, the president of the CDR. The person who lived here before was the president of the Popular Council; now, we only have to support the new owner, explain how the process works, and with her consent not break tradition.”
