Abstract
The first step is socialization, where the objective, activities, and timeline of the process are explained to the public. This step is suggested to take a minimum of 2 weeks. Following socialization, a public call is made for candidates to participate in the election process. Candidates must submit their documentation, including a copy of their cédula de ciudadanía, certification of disability, and a letter of intent to participate. The Secretaría Técnica del Comité de Discapacidad (STCD) reviews and verifies the completeness and accuracy of the documentation. The next step is the inscription of candidates, where the STCD prepares an acta de candidatos inscritos y elegibles (list of registered and eligible candidates). This document is then disseminated through various channels, including social media and local newspapers. The election process involves the counting of votes, led by the STCD and a representative from the Personería del territorio. The results are then compiled into an acta de elección (election act), which is also disseminated through various channels. The acta de elección includes the number of votes for each candidate, as well as the number of blank, null, and unmarked votes. The acta is used to determine the winners of the election, who will represent the different categories of disability. The Comité de Discapacidad is responsible for ensuring the integration of people with disabilities into society. The committee is composed of representatives from various organizations, including those that provide services to people with disabilities. The process for updating the Comité de Discapacidad is governed by the Ley 1145 de 2007, which established the Sistema Nacional de Discapacidad (National Disability System) and the Comités Territoriales de Discapacidad (Territorial Disability Committees). The law requires that the committees be composed of representatives from various organizations, including those that provide services to people with disabilities. The Comité de Discapacidad is also responsible for ensuring that the rights of people with disabilities are respected and protected. The committee works to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of society, including education, employment, and healthcare.
