Changes to Electoral Commission Basic Law
Decree No. 3 of 2026 was issued to continue amending the organic law of the Independent Higher Electoral Commission. Its aim is to modify the composition and operational framework of the council. The decree stipulates that the commission's council consists of nine independent and competent members, selected from experts in election management, judges, engineers, and diplomatic officials. The President of the Republic is appointed as the head of the commission from among its members. The decree also sets the members' term of office at six years, non-renewable, with one-third of the members being renewed every two years through a lottery. The amendments include repealing some old provisions, changing the number of commission members from five to seven, and expediting the appointment procedures. Meanwhile, previous council members continue to perform their duties until a new council is formed. The overall goal is to improve the independence and transparency of the Higher Electoral Commission’s work.
