What is the voto preferencial?
There are ongoing discussions to eliminate the voto preferencial. The following was copied from the newspaper El Caribe:
El voto preferencial se ha usado en los últimos dos comicios congresuales y consiste en que los electores votan por el diputado de su preferencia.
My translation is: The preferential vote has been used in the last two congressional elections and consists of electors voting for the deputy of their choice.
If the electors are the voting public why is the voto preferencial any different than any other election? If the electors are a different group of people who are they?

Reason: changed candidate to deputy
