COSTA RICA VOTES TODAY!
Chinchilla Leads In Early Vote Count
The Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones (TSE)
announced the first numbers of today's
voting, with 11.35% of the votes counted,
Laura Chinchilla holds a firm lead with
48.66% of the votes, followed by Ottón Solís
with 22.46% and Otto Guevara with 22.46%.
Laura at this point has more support that
the next two rivals combined. However, there
is still more vote counting to do before any
real indication of who will win this
election and if Laura can obtain the
required 40% of the vote to stay off a run
off election.
The TSE will me making periodic updates to
the vote count as the evening continues. |
