Voters in the Dominican Republic are gearing up for general elections set to take place on Sunday. The elections are expected to further solidify the government's efforts to address issues along its border with Haiti, particularly concerning the influx of Haitian migrants escaping violence in their home country.
President Luis Abinader is leading the presidential race and is seeking reelection as one of the most popular leaders in the Americas. If he secures over 50% of the vote, he will secure another term without the need for a second round of voting. Competing against him are President Leonel Fernández and mayor Abel Martínez. In addition to the presidential race, Dominicans will also cast their votes in legislative elections.
