Costa Rica wants to promote electoral reforms

By on January 10, 2013

Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla is preparing to promote electoral reforms, among other institutional changes, near the end of her term in 2014, Minister of the Presidency Carlos Benavides said on Jan. 8.

The so-called “Commission of Notables” report, which will include ways to improve the Legislative Assembly’s effectiveness and efficiency, is expected to be handed to Chinchilla before the end of January.

Chinchilla, who took office in May 2010, is in favor of reforms, including decreasing public funds for political parties. She’s also considering additional legislation, including the Biomedical Research Law, the Weapons Law and reforms to the Cyber Crimes Law, Benavides said.
