Prohibited election propaganda concerns parades, flyer campaigns, performing artists, demonstrations and radio and TV appearances. The prohibition of alcohol and the carrying of weapons is necessary because in previous elections, supporters of political parties were so excited they started to fight with each other. Uniformed police and soldiers will be unobtrusively present and have to keep some distance from polling stations, this to avoid the appearance of influence. Three hours after revealing the outcome of the elections, alcoholic drinks can be sold again.
These regulations also apply to El Batey, the tourist district of Sosúa. Therefore, the Don Andres BBQ moved to May 18th.
