SANTO DOMINGO.- The country’s tourist resorts will make it easier for their personnel to go to the ballot boxes on Friday.

Employees who vote in localities far from their work places will have a more flexible schedule, said Hotels and Restaurants Association (Asonahores) executive vicepresident Arturo Villanueva. "They’ll receive facilities. That’s an inalienable right of the worker, to be able to vote."

He said if interested, each employee will coordinate their temporary absence with their area manager. "Turns will be organized so the work in the hotel isn’t detained."

Villanueva asked politicians and the population to behave in a civilized manner on elections day, so the productive work immediately recovers its normality. "the country has advanced much, this is a mature democracy."
