Public Consultation on the revised Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates (OLIPPAC).

The Supreme Court in 2010 nullified 10 provisions of the Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates (OLIPPAC). The Registry of Political Parties began work on the Revised OLIPPAC in 2013. In 2014 the Revised OLIPPAC was approved by NEC but was not tabled in Parliament for debate and approval.

To renew the process of approving the Revised OLIPPAC, the Registry will be now conducting a public consultation to get the views of the general public on the Revised OLIPPAC.
