Important Notice
On Wednesday, December 15, 2004 the United States Court of Appeals for the
First Circuit ruled that the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico has jurisdiction
over triple-cross or three-mark
split-ticket Commonwealth election ballots. Although both the Commonwealth
Elections Commission (CEE) and the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico had acknowledged
the validity of the controversial split-ticket votes, these were not being
adjudicated by order of the United States District Court for Puerto Rico,
now overturned by the Court of Appeals decision.
Beginning Saturday, December 18, 2004, results for the offices of Governor
and Resident Commissioner include triple-cross or three-mark split-ticket
votes.
