According to the Cuban legislation, the 15,236 delegates selected the last month after three electoral rounds will gather under the direction of the president of the corresponding Electoral Municipal Commission to elect the Presidents and vice Presidents of their municipal assemblies through secret vote.
Near 8.2 million Cubans, which represent the 96.5 of the island's voters, participated in the electoral process carried out in Cuba on October 21.
Due to the high quality of the candidates, a second and third round had to be held on October 28 and 31 respectively to complete the number of delegates stipulated by the law.
The municipal assemblies are superior authority bodies of the Cuban state. They direct the economic and social activities for the benefit of inhabitants in their respective jurisdiction.
