NewzThe Central Electoral Board (JCE) in the Dominican Republic has provisionally suspended its own ban on publishing and disseminating electoral polls outside of the legal pre-campaign and campaign periods. The decision leaves the ongoing controversy surrounding the regulation of polls unresolved.
In response to the suspension, JCE President Román Jáquez Liranzo rejected suggestions that the electoral body had succumbed to outside pressure. Using the phrase "The Board does not kneel even to propose marriage," Jáquez pushed back against public perception that the institution had lost a test of strength following the reversal.
