Dávila v. General Supervisor of Elections

Mr. Chief Justice Negrón Fernández,

dissenting.

Section 4 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, in its third paragraph provides that “All matters concerning the electoral process, registration of voters, political parties and candidates shall be determined by law.”1

Subject to the other constitutional provisions which serve as a basis or are related to the matter,2 the foregoing provision supposes a legislative plan designed to regulate all matters concerning the exercise of the right to vote as an essential process of democracy.
