Cancun: hoteliers blame INE for lack of voting ballots

After the presidential elections, Jesús Almaguer Salazar, president of the Hotel Association of Cancún, Puerto Morelos and Isla Mujeres, has blamed the National Electoral Institute (INE) because it only assigned a thousand ballots to the special boxes, since at noon there were no more and many people, both national tourists and Hotel staff, were left unable to exercise their right to vote.

“A thousand tickets is ridiculous if we know that we have more than 500 Flights arriving and we also know how many people we have; We provide the statistics of visitors by nationality, it is very sad that they only assign a thousand ballots to foreign boxes,” said Almaguer, as reported by Luces del Siglo.

He noted that this is not the first time something like this has happened. “We always say the same thing, it will always be a red light and I hope the INE starts doing what it has to do so that it stops being in the eye of the hurricane, because they are giving reasons to be in the eye of the hurricane,” he commented. the hotelier

Likewise, he highlighted the sector’s efforts to motivate its staff and provide flexibility so that they could go to vote. “The Hotel industry was flexible in giving employees the time to come and cast their vote, reiterating that it is a right and an obligation,” Almaguer added.
