Floor of the National Legislative Assembly – July 21, 2008

After meeting with the President of the National Legislative Assembly, Ruben Orellana, we visited the floor of the National Assembly, they were not in session while we were there but we got to see their work area.



Every time a member wants to cast a vote on the floor, they have to supply a fingerprint as proof of identity. At each member’s desk there is a small box with a fingerprint pad so no one can vote for another member and every member is accountable for each of their votes. It is really cool.
