Nicaragua’s voter registration took place during the first four Sundays of October. Despite certain areas where contra activity prevented registration centers from opening, the process was considered successful by all concerned, from the Supreme Electoral Council to the political parties to international observes.

Seventy registration centers were closed at one time or another during the four Sundays for reasons ranging from lack of materials to heavy rains, but the majority were closed because of contra activity. The Supreme Electoral Council had hoped to reopen 66 of those centers in the war zones that had been affected, but the recent increase in contra activity has prevented that. Depending on the demobilization process, the registration centers may be able to open again.

The following is information gathered by the Supreme Electoral Council regarding registration. Council president Mariano Fiallos estimates that the total of 1,749,061 Nicaraguans registered represents over 90% of eligible Nicaraguan voters.
