The Cubans are voting in Parliamentary Elections this Sunday and the results are a foregone conclusion. However, with the abstention rate the real issue in play, 8 million eligible voters will select from the 470 candidates on the ballot. Some of the candidates are members of the Cuban Communist Party, which the opposition has called on Cubans to abstain from voting for. If the abstention rate is high, then the candidates who receive the most votes but do not receive 50% of the vote will not be elected.
