Colombia's attorney general, Gregorio Eljach Pacheco, called on citizens and authorities to ensure peaceful voting on May 31 and, if needed, June 21.
In a statement published Tuesday, Eljach recalled the success of the March 8 legislative elections, when turnout exceeded abstention and no fraud or violence-related cancellations were reported.
The official urged President Gustavo Petro to maintain neutrality and avoid using official resources for electoral purposes. He also warned public servants and contractors against improper political participation.
Eljach asked the military and police to step up security measures, and called on citizens to reject any form of violence or online disinformation.
