Review of the Electoral System of Puerto Rico

The Joint Commission of the Legislative Assembly for the Review of the Electoral System of Puerto Rico shall have jurisdiction to examine, investigate, evaluate and study all matters concerning the electoral process of Puerto Rico, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Act No. 58-2020, as amended, known as the Puerto Rico Election Code of 2020. The Commission shall be charged with proposing amendments to the current Election Code and suggesting new legislation that may complement or be incorporated into said Code through annexes or new titles, parts or sections. Likewise, it shall evaluate any law related to electoral processes in order to propose the changes necessary to conform their provisions to the Election Code, including, but not limited to, Act No. 107-2020, as amended, known as the Puerto Rico Municipal Code. The Joint Commission shall also have the power and the duty to recommend such legislation or regulations as may, without unnecessarily hindering the right to vote in all its dimensions, promote a fair, orderly, fraud-free, honest and sound electoral process. Pursuant to its mandate, the Joint Commission shall prepare and render all such reports as may be necessary in order to keep both Legislative Chambers informed of the results, recommendations and conclusions reached in the course of its work.
