    Ley 20-23 art. 236: voting from 07:00 to 17:00 'como plazo máximo', unless the JCE extends it (art. 249: voters in line at 17:00 still vote). The Dominican Republic is on AST (UTC-4) all year, so 17:00 local is 21:00 UTC. The juntas electorales issue partial bulletins as the provisional relation is built (art. 274) and send them to the JCE's central computer. 2024 precedent: the JCE announced its first bulletin for 20:30 local on election night, once 20% of the polling stations were counted (Diario Financiero, 16 May 2024, quoting JCE president Román Jáquez). The window closes at the end of 23 May 2028 local, when the definitive count of the juntas is due ('no mayor de dos (2) días', art. 274 párr. IV; JCE calendar: 'Término del Cómputo Electoral'); that end is an ESTIMATE. These bulletins are provisional, not the JCE's declaration of the result.

    The JCE makes the national count (Ley 20-23 art. 291), formulates the general relation of the result and the elected candidates 'Dentro de los treinta (30) días siguientes a la fecha de la elección' (art. 292), and issues the certificates of election (art. 300); the JCE's 2028 calendar sets 20 Jun 2028 as the 'Fecha límite para formular la relación general de candidatos/as electos/as y votos obtenidos'. The window closes at the end of 20 Jun 2028 local (UTC-4). Art. 292 lets the relation come later 'a la mayor brevedad posible' if the 30 days are not enough, so this end is the legal target, not an absolute bound. The opening is an ESTIMATED floor: the juntas' definitive count is due within two days (art. 274 párr. IV, 23 May 2028). In 2024 Resolución 41-2024 declared the presidential and vice-presidential winners from the 'Relación General Definitiva del Cómputo Electoral' (El Día, 25 May 2024). 2024 precedent: polling day 19 May 2024; the JCE's resolutions declaring the winners (Resoluciones 41-45 of 2024, listed on elecciones2024.jce.gob.do) were reported on 24 May (El Día, 24 May 2024, 17:29, on the provincial deputies) and 25 May 2024 (El Día and Prensa Latina, 25 May 2024, on the presidential, senatorial, PARLACEN, national and overseas levels), i.e. day 5-6. Challenges go to the juntas electorales and on appeal to the Tribunal Superior Electoral within the calendar's deadlines (24-31 May 2028, Ley 39-25 arts. 25, 29, 31); they are decided before the JCE's declaration, so there is no separate court stage. If no ticket has more than half of the valid votes, the JCE must dictate the proclama for the second election within three days (calendar: 3 Jun 2028; Constitution art. 209.1, Ley 20-23 arts. 20.6, 97 párr. IV, 164), and this round's declaration then only names the two tickets in the runoff. Per Ley 20-23 art. 302 the formal proclamation of the President and Vice President is made by the National Assembly; the JCE's declaration and certificates are the official result. The new term begins on 16 Aug 2028 (Constitution art. 274).

Challenges go to the juntas electorales and on appeal to the Tribunal Superior Electoral within the calendar's deadlines (24-31 May 2028, Ley 39-25 arts. 25, 29, 31); they are decided before the JCE's declaration, so there is no separate court stage.
