The leader talked of the larger youth presence between electoral authorities and the number of those who make up electoral commissions, above all at a neighboring level.

These elections will be another excellent opportunity for young people to show their qualities, civism, strength, protagonism, awareness and real commitment with the country's fate, Perez told the National News Agency.
