The Central Electoral Board (JCE) of the Dominican Republic indicated that constituting a political organization in the country requires complying with a series of legal, territorial, organizational, and financial requirements. According to Law 33-18 of Parties, Associations, and Political Movements, organizations must have a formal structure that varies according to the territorial level at which they intend to operate: national, provincial, or municipal.
Among the aspects considered are the provisions related to the use of symbols, names, and statutes, which must be adjusted to the established norms for this type of political organization. In addition, the collection and validation of 2% of signatures are required as part of the process to demonstrate the necessary support to request recognition.
Requirements for Official Recognition
The JCE also points out the need to have a physical structure and operational directives, so that the organization can demonstrate that it has a formal structure to develop its political activities. Other requirements include compliance with the deadlines established in the electoral calendar and the budget and financial planning.
The JCE’s explanation aims to guide those who plan to create a political organization and highlight that official recognition implies complying with a series of previously established conditions by electoral legislation. The electoral authority called for taking into account the legal and administrative requirements before initiating the process of constituting a political party, group, or movement in the country.
The importance of complying with these requirements lies in the need to guarantee the transparency and legitimacy of the electoral process. By providing a clear guide on the necessary steps to constitute a political organization, the JCE aims to promote citizen participation and promote democracy in the Dominican Republic.
