The head of Bolivia's Supreme Electoral Tribunal has resigned after an audit of the Oct. 20 presidential election concluded there were irregularities in the vote.
The tribunal president, María Eugenia Choque, announced her resignation on Sunday.
A preliminary report by the Organization of American States found a "heap of observed irregularities" in the presidential contest and said a new vote should be held.
The attorney general's office in Bolivia then said it would investigate the judges on the electoral tribunal.

Bolivia's military chief says that President Evo Morales should resign so that stability can be restored after weeks of protests over his disputed election.
Speaking on national television, Gen. Williams Kaliman also appealed to Bolivians to desist from violence.
He stepped in after Morales agreed earlier in the day to hold a new election.
Morales' claim to have won a fourth term last month has triggered fraud allegations, deadly protests and a split among security forces.
