On Sunday, Bolivians will go to the polls amid the second wave of contagions. "Electoral authorities will guarantee strict health measures and they will be agile to avoid agglomerations outside polling stations," the TSE stated.
According to national polls, the ruling Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) is expected to sweep the elections.
