In terms of sexes, more men than women have participated, since there have been 1,000 male voters and 874 votes cast by women.

Decentralization councilor, Juan Pedro Torralba, said he is very satisfied with the results obtained and recalled that the prioritization phase will start on November 2 with the first of the talks at 20.00.

"I want to invite all the residents of Canteras to attend the meeting, which will take place next Thursday at the social premises.

It is very important that citizens are present in this phase of the budgets because it is in these assemblies that the proposals that are not our competence or maintenance will be discarded and those that are repeated will be unified to facilitate the voting process, "he said. Torralba.
