She commented on the deployment of prosecutors throughout the country to verify that both candidates and political parties respect the rules: «The exposure times on television and radio must be respected, not to call for hatred, for everything to march in harmony and peace» , she said.
She recalled that candidates are currently using social networks to campaign, so she urged organizations to be careful with the messages they spread: «We do not directly punish those who break the law, we make a first call for them to correct, and if the behavior persists, we sanction them».

For these elections, is expected the participation of 21 national organizations for political purposes, among these are 11 regional, five national indigenous and 13 regional indigenous organizations.
