on the matter.” 13 Based on the foregoing, in the Judgment this Court ordered the State to complete the adaptation of its domestic law to the Convention, within a reasonable time, so that it adapted the secondary legislation and the norms that regulate the proceedings for the protection of the rights of the citizen to the provisions of the constitutional reform of November 13, 2007, so that, using this remedy, citizens are effectively guaranteed the possibility of contesting the constitutionality of the legal regulation of the right to be elected (supra having seen paragraph 5). 17. In this regard, the Court notes that, by a decree of July 1, 2008, 14 the State amended the Electoral Contestation Law and the Organic Law of the Federal Judiciary (infra considering paragraphs 18 and 19), in order to include within the attributes of the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (hereinafter “the Superior Chamber”) and the Regional Chambers of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (hereinafter “Regional Chambers of the Electoral Tribunal”) the competence “[t]o decide […], in specific cases, not to apply electoral laws that are contrary to the Constitution.” 15 Similarly, following this legislative reform, article 6.4 of the Electoral Contestation Law (concerning the common rules applicable to the contestation mechanisms) establishes that: Notwithstanding the provisions of article 105 of the Constitution, the Chambers of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary, in exercise of their jurisdictional functions, may decide not to apply laws on electoral matters that are contrary to the Constitution. The decisions handed down in the exercise of this authority shall be limited to the specific case heard in the proceedings. In these cases, the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal shall advise the national Supreme Court of Justice. 16 18. These changes amended the Electoral Contestation Law and the Organic Law of the Federal Judiciary in keeping with the provisions of the 2007 constitutional reform (supra considering paragraph 16), as ordered in the sixth operative paragraph of the Judgment. 19. The Court notes that also, in paragraph (f) of article 10, this amendment to the Electoral Contestation Law added as a cause for the dismissal of proceedings and the inadmissibility of the electoral contestation mechanisms, “[w]hen, in the contestation mechanism, a request is made, exclusively, not to apply a general electoral law that has been declared valid by the national Supreme Court of Justice, in the terms of paragraph II of article 105 of the Constitution.” 17 In this regard, the Court finds that the new cause of inadmissibility established in article 10.1.f) of the Electoral Contestation Law is not, per se, contrary to the measure of reparation ordered in the Judgment or to the American Convention, in the 13 Cf. Case of Castañeda Gutman v. Mexico. Preliminary objections, merits, reparations and costs. Judgment of August 6, 2008. Series C No. 184, para. 230. 14 The Court notes that, even though this amendment occurred before the delivery of the Judgment, the Court was not informed of it at the merits and reparations stage of this case; hence the Court did not examine this amendment in its Judgment. 15 Cf.
