This eight-part analysis encompasses a range of aspects of the 2015 elections, including: 1) political conflicts; 2) the electoral system; 3) the role of the media; 4) political party financing and campaign spending; 5) electoral justice; 6) the role of electoral bodies in Guatemala; 7) the performance of the political system; and 8) political participation. The study seeks to provide practical information and analysis to Congress, the electoral authorities, executive branch, and civil society organizations and activists. As these actors deliberate reforms to electoral and political laws, the study provides them with analysis on the strengths and weaknesses in the current law and some recommendations for improvements.
