A Particular Proposal of Constitutional Amendment: Constitutionalisation of the Electoral Board System
Abstract
The aim of the current piece of work is to offer a proposal consisting of an independent existence as penned in the Electoral Act. Such system has proved to be efficient for forty years, although some facts recently occurred have increased the risk of the ruler, whether national or local, to opt for other options where both neutrality and impartiality guarantees are observed. Such proposal focuses on creating a system of Electoral Boards as if independent and politically neutral, mostly made by lawyers, generally entitled to all electoral and referendum procedures together with the acknowledgment of the Central Electoral Board as the higher electoral authority, despite the surveillance by law of its acts.
