The New Basic Law or the new General Electoral Regulation could contribute to put an end to the controversy around certain procedures of the electoral administration, especially giving a legal foundation to the role of election coordinators, and of components of the Plan República in election processes. Although in the Presidential Elections both figures limited themselves, in general, to the fulfilment of their basically logistical and security functions in a professional, effective, and neutral manner, with some minor exceptions. Despite the fact that their role in the process was clarified through CNE public declarations destined to this end; their participation in the election process is still viewed with mistrust by some parties and citizens.
