Desirable - The introduction of a prohibition on the enactment of electoral reforms in the months prior to the beginning of an electoral process should be explicitly prohibited in the Constitution, or alternatively in the Electoral Code.
Addressed to - Legislative Assembly.
Possible Improvements Suggested - The Legislative Assembly enacted several late reforms of the Electoral Code in the run-up to the 2009 elections. The latest of which was enacted only 15 days before the elections. Although these measures were considered to be reasonable, changes to the rules of the electoral game, so late in the process are highly unadvisable as they can reduce the level of confidence in their neutrality.
