Colombia’s National Registry Office (Registraduría) has responded to allegations made by President Gustavo Petro regarding potential manipulation of E-14 vote tally forms. The Registraduría stated that a “digital witness” system is crucial for ensuring the forms remain unaltered. According to an official statement released on June 21, 2026, records of digitization and download times are maintained. These records are stored both in the metadata of mass download files and in the entity’s internal logs. The response aims to address concerns about the transparency and security of the electoral process. The Registraduría emphasizes the system’s ability to detect any unauthorized modifications to the crucial E-14 forms, which are central to verifying election results.
