The Central Electoral Board has suggested a couple of changes to the current legislation that governs elections in the Dominican Republic. According to Listin Diario, JCE chief magistrate Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman has suggested that the upcoming constitutional reform should include the creation of a Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) that will take over all cases involving arguments about election results and settle internal political party disputes. This would free up the JCE to organize and carry out elections. According to the suggestion, both the JCE and the TSE would be composed of five members each. The JCE members would be selected by Congress and the TSE members would be selected by the National Council of Magistrates.
