Recommendation 14.2. Legal Framework (Legal Framework) Venezuela 2006

The laws that govern election processes contain inconsistencies and vacuums that could be solved through the approval, by the National Assembly of a General Basic Law, or with a new General Electoral Regulation adopted by the CNE. These texts should establish clearly and definitively all the key aspects of election processes in accordance with the 1999 Constitution, and international principles and good practices. In this manner, the CNE would be exempted from having to publish such a large number of regulations for all election processes, at times at very advanced stages of the process. The EU EOM had already detected this failing in 2005, which the Basic Law of Suffrage and Political Parties of 1998 contemplated solving with the approval of a General Electoral Regulation. Whatever the chosen formula, be it an Organic Law or a General Regulation, it would be important that it be adopted in consensus with the largest possible number of the country’s political forces, regardless of whether they are represented in the National Assembly, or not.
