The Organic Law of the Higher Electoral Court (TSE) will have to be reviewed once again by the National Congress, after the Chamber of Deputies unanimously defeated the passage of the bill and, with the consensus of all of the parties, the modifications that were introduced by the Senate of the Republic to the original legislation. Initially, the deputies set the number of members of the new body created by the Constitution at five. Nevertheless, in the Senate and as an initiative of the president of that body, Reinaldo Pared Perez, the proposal was modified to include a clause from the Constitution that says that the TSE could have a minimum of three and a maximum of five members.
With this change, they would have left the establishment of the members of the tribunal in the hands of the National Council of Magistrates and not in the organic law. The initiative, once rejected, will have to be reintroduced for discussion during a future extraordinary session that the Executive Branch will convene for this purpose and that of passing the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court as well.
The debate on the Constitutional Court is scheduled to continue with a panel of experts discussing the role of the new entity this Thursday at the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, President Fernandez's think-tank and university. President Leonel Fernandez himself is calling to the discussions that will be at 6pm at Funglode located at 26 Capitan Eugenio de Marchena Street, La Esperilla in Santo Domingo.
