José Luis Exeni, and special representative, former Dominican President Leonel Fernández -- Lopez stressed the implementation of the Plan República that begins Monday in order to safeguard the electoral materials, the voting machines and the citizens participating in the process.

He said they expect the voting will take place next Sunday in a peaceful and safe way.
