In this context, it is clear that in such common law systems, electoral jurisdiction plays a particularly important role in shaping the applicable legal framework, since the decisions of their courts in the resolution of specific conflicts (decisions which, when certain formal requirements are met, take on the character of judicial precedents) are essentially the preferred source of their law. in general and their right to vote in particular. On the other hand, while it is true that the legal tradition on which the legal framework is developed does not depend on its conception, so it certainly cannot be classified as a fundamental alternative, it should be noted that, given the contextual importance, its positioning in this section makes sense. Semi-direct democracies have been described as systems considered representative and democratic in their legal framework to be applied in special and exceptional circumstances, certain figures of direct participation of citizens in legislative processes, decision-making in public affairs or dismissal of civil servants, namely referendum, referendum, popular initiative, cancellation of the mandate, etc. (figures belonging to the genre of referendums). ==References== The first chapter is divided into three main themes. The first provides an overview of the electoral system, which includes a definition of a “legal framework”, the content of the subject and the methodology used in its development. The second, on the Guiding Principles, briefly describes the international and regional principles contained in treaties and alliances that should be taken into account when drafting or reforming electoral laws. The third theme highlights the importance of context in determining the adequacy of the legal framework. Ideally, “democratic, legislative and regulatory processes provide citizens with the opportunity to review existing legal frameworks, comment on proposed changes and propose changes.” [ii] Similarly, it is not enough for those in the political arena to know the rules. Applicants must analyse the legal framework to determine whether the rules actually offer a real chance of competing. Science, the media and civil society groups of all kinds also have an important interest in how the legal framework for elections is created and reformed, so understanding these processes is very important for the overall health of the electoral system. The process, opportunities and challenges associated with changing the sources of the legal framework will be different in each case.
In general, if it is not clear what the regulatory framework is or how it applies when entering into an agreement of a commercial or for-profit nature, companies may experience legal errors. That is, there may be companies that feel that certain legal systems are not applicable to them, but ultimately, when they have legal incidents that can result in significant financial and legal costs. This does not mean that in jurisdictions outside the common law (which could generally be located in the family of German-Roman law), the decisions of the electoral courts have no meaning. Far from it, it can be said that in these legal systems, electoral judges have also made important contributions to the strengthening and development of the right to vote through their decisions (which may incorporate relevant criteria or jurisprudence). Therefore, when considering the legal framework for elections in these legal systems, it is not enough to rely on their constitution or their legal and regulatory systems, as it is essential to also consult the criteria established by their electoral courts. Representatives are authentic representatives, while their main function is to act on behalf of and representing their clients or representatives, in whom popular sovereignty essentially and originally resides. The challenges of the legal framework in a representative and democratic system are to ensure a reliable system of election of the best citizens who become legitimate representatives of the people, as well as to regulate the exercise of these in the exercise of their functions in accordance with the needs, objectives and will of the Community they represent. Chile: The second half of the year began with movements in the regulatory treatment of standards that will impact the technology ecosystem. The progress of the bill, which creates a consolidated debt registry, the start of the discussion on the framework of the legal initiative on cybersecurity and the project that eliminates and prohibits the use of data relating to unpaid debts from April 30, 2022, are highlighted. We also find the announcement of Subtel to implement a plan to prevent telephone fraud and the entry into force of the Madrid Protocol.

6 As with international standards, the legal design, reform and implementation of an electoral system must not ignore the cultural, economic, legal, social and political reality and context. The application and interpretation of constitutional, legal and regulatory systems must be consistent with the context. This applies whether it is a supranational or regional system (European Union or central parliament), a national system (any country), a state, autonomous, departmental, municipal, cantonal or regional system. Without falling into extremist positions (neither blind admission nor absolute rejection), an acceptable practice might be to include in the legal framework of a representative, fully justified and limited democracy one or two figures of semi-direct democracy, to graduate its application and to rigorously evaluate its results. Similarly, experience suggests that it is acceptable to test the functioning of these mechanisms by applying them in not too large municipalities (counties, municipalities, states), so that the process of their regulation begins with local or regional regulations before moving on to the national legal framework. The legal framework allows the electoral authority to carry out the tasks of conducting the election in accordance with the structure described in its provisions. It also empowers political parties to obtain funds and participate in elections in accordance with established legal provisions. Finally, it ensures that voters retain their political rights to vote and elect their government representatives. Another relevant aspect at the constitutional level, which is closely linked to political representation, is that it must have a specific, fixed and predetermined duration.
Without prejudice to whether or not re-election is allowed in representative positions, it is therefore important that they be temporarily limited. Even the possibility of re-election in a representative democracy was seen as the legal and political opportunity that citizens have to assess their confidence in their representatives and, therefore, to support or not. The term “codes of conduct” can refer to various phenomena. Therefore, it is advisable to exclude three cases of codes in advance. All of them concern electoral issues and even the holding of elections themselves, but they respond to a different reality from the authentic codes of conduct that are part of the legal structure of processes: normative frameworks are a set of laws, rules and regulations that apply to the functions or activities whose execution is planned and which must be identified, so that activities are carried out to be executed. harmonious way without taking legal risks. Since the authorities to be chosen, as well as the regulatory legal framework, depend on the state model, it is necessary to evaluate the different forms of organization that can be adopted. Within a state, there are federal agencies (the representative of the executive or presidential power and the legislature, which usually consists of an upper house and a lower house), local and state or provincial authorities.
