The Superior Electoral Justice Tribunal of Paraguay (TSJE) acknowledged that it relaxed the rules of a tender for the rental of voting machines, after canceling a first call in which the Consórcio Comitia MSA was disqualified for replacing the screen of an equipment during the technical test. The change allowed the consortium, which had been disqualified for an alleged attempted fraud, to win the new tender and close a contract of nearly US$ 35 million for the upcoming internal and municipal elections.
