The Constitutional Revisory Assembly will meet again next Tuesday to review a selection of articles in the new Constitution. Julio Cesar Valentin, vice president of the legislators study group, said they would discuss articles still pending prior to the second reading of the entire bill. Among the points pending is establishing the number of judges in the Central Electoral Board (JCE), he said.
Once the first reading of all of the articles approved by the National Assembly has been completed, the second reading will begin. It is expected that this process will take place in early September.
