El Salvador is currently holding municipal elections, closely following President Nayib Bukele's controversial reelection and allegations of fraud in the previous month's Congressional vote. The elections, which also include representatives for the Central American Parliament, have been marked by low voter turnout, irregularities, and reports of restricted press access to voting centers. The process requires voter ID and dipping voters' fingers in ink. The local community radio network, @arpassv, is covering the event across the country. This round of elections comes amid criticisms of the electoral authorities' handling of fraud indications from the February legislative elections and their approval of Bukele's reelection, which has been deemed unconstitutional.
