The Commission notes at the outset that there exist several mechanisms of accountability of the members of the JNE: they may be the object of criminal investigations by the Prosecutor’s Office; they are subject to a procedure of control of the legality of implementation of the national budget, public debt operations, and activities by the Office of Comptroller General (Article 82 of the Constitution). Furthermore, alleged acts of corruption involving the JNE may be the object of denuncias ciudadanas.62 The Commission also notes that the President of the JNE (as a judge of the Supreme Court) and the member of the JNE nominated by the Prosecutors (as a senior prosecutor) are also subject to disciplinary responsibility before the National Justice Board, as well as to the so-called “ratification” every seven years (Article 154 of the Constitution). The other members of the JNE, however, are not. While the law essentially equates the members of the JNE to judges (see above), it is unclear whether the other members of the JNE are subject to any disciplinary liability before the Junta del Poder Judicial.
