Yep. He requested the number of polling stations be cut because he didn't have enough volunteers to help oversee the counting of the votes. In Puerto Rico, they count ballots by hand. So one-by-one, each must be counted by hand at every polling station. He requested the cut and they adhered to it because they had budget issues as well, so it worked. PR is going through a financial crisis and local government saving money by not having as many open polling stations helps...a little at least.
Here's a clip of the guy who broke the news. I posted the video on my twitter.
