The current voter register should serve as the basis for the creation of the future voter register, although the latter must be, at least partly based on the new civil registries contemplated in the National Registry Law. Doubtlessly, the new civil registration process, will be implemented gradually, therefore it would be unviable to immediately eliminate the previous one, without putting the right of suffrage of those previously registered at risk, in case they may not be able to register themselves in the new civil registry.
