The Latin American Network Information Center (LANIC) at the University of Texas (last mentioned in the
November 13, 1998 Scout Report) has added a new feature to provide users with quick reference guides to online resources for each of the thirteen presidential or legislative elections in Latin American and Caribbean countries between this month and the end of 2000. The pages for each country are divided into five sections: Electoral Coverage, Electoral Resources, News, Parties and Candidates, and (after the election) Results. Users should note that the number of links contained in each of these sections will vary considerably by country, depending on what is available. Currently, the site has content on four of the thirteen elections (Argentina, Uruguay, Guatemala, and Chile) as well as information on three recent referenda or elections in Guatemala, Venezuela, and Panama.
