Abstract
- The Republic of Paraguay, like many other countries, has passed a long path of development – from a colonial possession to a modern independent democratic state. The main guarantees provided by a democratic State are control over the correctness of holding referendums and elections, as well as the ability to resolve electoral disputes and protect the right to vote.
- In the article, the author analyzes the features of electoral justice in the Republic of Paraguay and concludes that in the Republic of Paraguay, on the one hand, there is a coherent system of electoral justice, clothed in the appropriate legal framework. However, when analyzing the legislative provisions designed to ensure the effectiveness of electoral justice, it becomes clear that in reality the legal norms regulating electoral justice in Paraguay are ambiguous and contradictory, and this is manifested in the inconsistency of certain legislative norms that fix the legal framework of electoral justice with constitutional provisions, and in the presence of legislative gaps that lead to legal uncertainty regarding the application and different interpretations of such provisions. In addition, the mechanism established in the Republic of Paraguay for resolving complaints and appeals does not provide for timely and effective legal protection. All of the above leads to the fact that confidence in the electoral justice system is falling both at the national and international level, which ultimately can lead to unnamed conflicts.
