363. Figures which are still incomplete indicate that number of voters registered will slightly exceed 150,000, which is 25 percent more than in 1924. There is an increase over 1924 in every department although the increase is small in Nueva Segovia. In Jinotega in spite of recent disorders the increase was over 20 percent.
Both sides are claiming a probable victory in November, basing their claims on the number of voters they have registered.
The Liberals are making claim to a larger majority than the Conservatives.
