San Juan, PR – The Puerto Rico State Elections Commission (CEE) is under scrutiny for failing to address multiple information requests related to issues during the electoral process. These requests, submitted by journalists Damaris Suárez and Vanessa Colón Almenas of the Centro de Periodismo Investigativo (CPI), remain unanswered despite the requirements outlined in the Transparency and Expedited Procedure for Access to Public Information Act. As a result, the CPI has taken legal action to obtain the requested data. “All the requested information is public and of high interest to the people of Puerto Rico. To address public distrust in the electoral process, the CEE must be transparent and provide the requested information promptly.
