The Qualifying Court of Elections (Tricel) referred this Thursday to a claim made against the Agreement of the Board of Directors of the Electoral Service, a protest that indicated that said provision does not comply with the constitutional mandate to establish norms to guarantee the right to vote for those infected with coronavirus.
In that sense, the Tricel rejected the claim and also ruled that those infected with COVID will not be able to go to vote for the plebiscite, according to La Tercera.
The resolution states that “the norms that provide for the isolation of qualified voters infected with Covid-19 to move to approach their respective voting tables is not Law 21,257 (which empowers the Servel), nor the Agreement of the Board of Directors of the Electoral Service, but it is the sanitary regulations that have established the isolation of people infected with Covid-19 ″.
“This Court noting that there has been, in the species, a constitutional conflict between the right to vote and the right to health, it is certain that neither the Electoral Service nor the Electoral Justice are endowed with the competence to obviate the sanitary regulations dictated by the Ministry of Health, which is in charge of the leadership of the country’s health sector “they add.
