Honduras Closes Campaigns as Tight Three-Way Race Heads to Nov. 30 Vote

International scrutiny grows over the vote's transparency.

Overview

  • More than six million voters will choose a president, three vice presidents, a full Congress and 298 mayors on November 30.
  • Over 19,000 polling stations will operate nationwide, with biometric checks and reliance on official channels stressed by the electoral authority.
  • CID Gallup’s late-September survey put Salvador Nasralla, Rixi Moncada and Nasry Asfura at 27%, 26% and 24%, with a sizable undecided bloc and no presidential runoff.
  • Prosecutor Zelaya opened an investigation into alleged electoral fraud, citing audio recordings and naming National Party figures and an active military agent.
  • Campaigns ended with tense closures, including the disruption of a Nasralla caravan in Tegucigalpa, as U.S., EU and OAS missions deploy to observe the process.
