On Monday, 13 August 2018, the Executive Branch enacted the Political Parties and Political Groups and Movements Bill, having been approved in one single reading by the Senate. The Senate just needed the single reading to pass the bill because the senators were approving the amended bill sent by the Chamber of Deputies.
Political Parties, Groups and Movements Law 33-18 comes into force immediately and applies to the actions taken by the political parties to choose their elective candidates for the presidential, congressional and electoral elections coming up in 2020. It is now up to the Central Electoral Board (JCE) to set forth the rulings for the presidential, legislative and municipal elections in 2020.
