Venezuela: Parliament Initiates Political Dialogue to Review Electoral Laws
On October 3, the National Assembly initiated the political dialogue with different political parties, with the aim of discussing ideas and providing contributions to strengthen the Electoral Laws that govern the country.
Among the laws that will be discussed in these subcommittees are: the Organic Law of Political Parties, the Law of Electoral Processes and the Law of Electoral Power.
Furthermore, it is expected that the electoral law reforms will be approved before the end of 2024, so that the elections held in 2025 will be governed by the new electoral regulations.
