Electoral/Political Party Reform – 1997
1997
Intermediate Implementation 
The accord calls for certain electoral reforms to be made, but also mentions that a commission to be established to “consider” such improvements as:
(a) Documentation;
(b) Electoral rolls;
(c) Voting;
(d) Transparency and publicity;
(e) Information campaign;
(f) Institution-building.
The extent to which each of these items were considered is difficult to asses. The accord definitively stipulates that the URNG be allowed to become a legal political party. The URNG began the process of establishing itself as a legal political party on 18 June 1997, and its members reached an agreement on its new structure on 30 August 1997.1
