National Commission for Electoral Reforms
The National Commission for Electoral Reforms was convened in early 2020 by the Electoral Tribunal, with the purpose of writing reform proposals for the Electoral Code. The Commission is expected to work on a review throughout the year 2020 which shall result in a proposal for reform. This document will be delivered in 2021 to the National Assembly so that it decides whether the Commission?s output becomes law. The Commission is made up of citizens and representatives of government agencies, the private sector and civil society associations, such as the Citizen Forum for Electoral Reforms, as well as legally constituted parties. The reform is intended to adapt the electoral code by incorporating technological tools that foster transparency.
