Representatives from civil society, Indigenous authorities and independent journalists will participate in the session to reflect on the importance of the 2026 election of the Attorney General, Constitutional Court (CC), Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) and the Comptroller General of Accounts. Given the co-optation of the justice system, the elections for these institutions are fundamental to the future of democracy and the rule of law in Guatemala.
Based on the experience of observing previous processes, we will analyze the challenges of these elections, the lessons learned and good practices to propose new strategies to strengthen alliances between civil society, the media, Indigenous authorities and the international community to effectively influence these election processes. Advocacy strategies will be analyzed to ensure objective and transparent elections and to ensure the election of capable and independent individuals.
