Havana, Deember 4 (RHC)-- A total of 925 constituencies in Cuba return to the polls this Sunday in the second round of municipal elections to elect representatives to the assemblies of People's Power.

According to Prensa Latina, this day's elections will be held in those localities of the country where no candidate was selected on November 27.

In order to be elected, a candidate must receive 50 percent plus one of the total votes and will exercise his or her mandate, on a non-professional basis, for five years.

The National Electoral Council informed that 5,728,220 voters exercised their vote in the first round, representing 68.58 percent of the more than 8,300,000 voters summoned to the polls.

The results showed that 11,502 Cubans were elected as district delegates in the municipal elections of the People's Power.

The elections held on November 27 were the first after the restructuring of the Cuban electoral system and the enactment of a new electoral law under the Constitution approved in 2019.
