The selection of Unisyn Voting Solutions Company to administer the electronic counting process in the next general election is final and binding. His hiring will depend on negotiating a reduction in the price of service as well as the results of the tests that will be submitted their machines, election commissioners confirmed yesterday Ivan Aponte and Ivan Roberto Caban.

In fact, this coming Tuesday the negotiating committee of the State Election Commission (EC), consisting of three commissioners and the president, Hector Conty, will meet to determine how it will begin to negotiate the price Unisyn provides. This is because the company sought $ 26.5 million, the highest cost among the bidders Dominion Voting Systems, Hart Intercivic and Smartmatic.

"We must negotiate. Everything in life is negotiable and they said they were willing to negotiate (the price), "said Caban, commissioner of the New Progressive Party (PNP).

For its part, the independence Aponte stated that the goal is "to download a reasonable amount of money."

"If no money down, there could also stop the process. Everything is fair game, "said the commissioner of the PIP.

However, Aponte said the most important aspect of the hiring company is focused on the laboratory test to be performed between March and April. There will test the machines offered Unisyn for counting votes with ballots used in the island and the various forms of voting that has the elector, he explained.

On the other hand, statehood and independence commissioners refuted the complaints expressed by the Popular Democratic Party around that Unisyn has no electoral experience and has no economic strength.

Aponte went on to say that at some point had the same concern, but at the meet with the company realized that although they had spent on lottery games and horse, "voters have been different processes 'counties' in the U.S. ".

Also, Caban and Unisyn Aponte agreed that was the only one satisfied with the resolution adopted by the Legislature, which stipulates that the company selected must be certified FEC 2005, which grants the Federal Election Commission.

They noted that other companies had certified independent laboratory, which was not sufficient to meet the requirements of law.

On the economic front, the EC officials said they hired an auditing firm, called PKF, who determined that all bidders have the financial strength to take over the process.

PPD Election Commissioner, Eder Ortiz, did not respond yesterday to calls from El Nuevo Dia to react on the issue.
