| | The 31 member Council of State, whose president (Fidel) is the president of Cuba, and whose membership is largely de facto fixed, is also ceremonially elected, actually largely just reappointed, by the National Assembly. | | | Even if the elections are eye-wash, the Council of State and the entrenched leaders of the many assemblies and working departments and popular organizations and labor unions and neighborhood watch units (all of which are part of the government) are doing their jobs - running Cuba. | | | But it was prominently explained in Granma (the Communist Party newspaper) the day before that a voter not listed could be listed on the spot, when he came to vote, if other definitely legitimate voters (other than candidates and officials) vouched for his legitimacy. |
