An electoral improvement is in the works for 2027: an end to the allowance, fresh districts, smaller precincts, and judges serving as commissioners? The bill is before the Senate

Is an electoral revolution on the horizon? In July 2026, the legislature held the first reading of a bill amending the Electoral Code and the Local Referendum Act. The bill calls for a thorough overhaul of the rules governing the organization of voting, the composition of electoral bodies, and the mechanisms for determining results. The main goal of the proposed changes is to professionalize the election administration and reconstruct citizens’ trust in the state, which was strained by irregularities during the 2025 presidential election.
