Six of the 12 candidates came close to the threshold that would have made their election legitimate. 1,185 prosecutors out of a total of 1,503 cast their vote today, most chose to vote electronically.
The vote will be repeated tomorrow, from 8 AM until 6 PM, and the 4 candidates with the greatest number of votes, whatever the percentage, will be elected to the Supreme Judicial Council.
