Ciudad del Este will allow until Wednesday to remove election propaganda and then begin a cleanup
The Municipality notified candidates and those responsible for signs installed on public roads. According to Última Hora, from 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday the 23rd, an operation will begin in San José Avenue and continue through other areas of the city.
The Municipality of Ciudad del Este ordered candidates and those responsible for election propaganda structures to dismantle them before 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 23. According to Última Hora, once that deadline expires, removal work will begin by municipal crews.
The operation was announced by Mayor Pedro Acuña, together with the Municipal Services and Asphalt Plant departments. According to that outlet, the municipality seeks to clear political signage and other structures that remain on public roads ahead of the municipal elections on October 4.
The warning is aimed especially at wooden signs, since their owners can still remove them on their own and reuse the material. If that does not happen, the Municipality will proceed with dismantling them.
Still according to Última Hora, the first intervention will take place on San José Avenue and then extend to the main avenues and other sectors of the city in the following days.
Meanwhile, preparations for the elections in Alto Paraná are moving forward. The newspaper reported that about 1,500 polling stations are expected to be set up in the department, more than 400 of them in Ciudad del Este. A similar number of voting machines and around 300 contingency units are also being prepared.
The electoral judge for Alto Paraná, Pedro Guzmán, said in statements to Radio La Clave cited by Última Hora that the machines would arrive approximately four days before the election and would remain under police custody during transport, storage and distribution.
According to that outlet, Alto Paraná has nearly 600,000 registered voters, about 300,000 of them in Ciudad del Este, where 22 polling locations were defined. Guzmán added that nearly seven political parties and 22 alliances are taking part in the process.
