population validated the current Magna Carta of Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>A comparison between the two processes, moreover, makes it possible to show not only the decrease in just three years of the electoral list of almost 250,000 people \u2014 at a time when the island is going through a strong and sustained migration wave \u2014, but also a significant increase in abstention \u2014 the participation rate fell from 90.15% to 74.12%, high, without a doubt, when compared to other elections in the world, but low compared to the electoral processes of recent decades in the Caribbean nation \u2014 and a greater opposition to the options promoted by the government, in both cases the support for the texts, beyond the possible interpretations for it.<\/p>\n<p><a

of the missions abroad, it is also important to highlight that, as reported by the CEN, they had a participation rate of over 100% because on the day of the vote in the different countries there were \u201ccollaborators who were not initially foreseen in the basic report issued.\u201d Similarly, this group stands out for registering the highest percentage of valid ballots (98.94%), the lowest percentage of blank and canceled ballots (less than 2% between the two) and the greatest support for the Code (84.77%), the only one that was over 80%.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding participation on the island,

the numbers released this week do not delve beyond the provincial values, which does not allow us to know what happened at the municipal level and in specific localities. This, without a doubt, would have enabled a more stratified view of the popular position on the Code, and would have facilitated a more accurate analysis by region or according to the nature of the communities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-259045\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02-1536x1061.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02-750x518.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02-1140x787.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_01-02.jpg 1580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-259048\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05-1536x1061.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05-750x518.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05-1140x787.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Codigo-Familias_EN_02-05.jpg 1580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A more detailed interpretation of the results would also have been possible if it was known how the vote was carried out by age groups, gender, educational level, social origin and other demographic and sociocultural categories, but the legitimate direct and secret character of the vote and the existence of previous or at polls surveys \u2014 with the margin of inaccuracy that they suppose \u2014 do not shed light in this direction.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the data by provinces give the possibility of looking beyond the general statistics and contributing to better understand and, as far as possible, interpret what happened at the polls.
