Term Limits

Civil-society groups have proposed that the 128 deputies and 298 mayors elected in November 2029 serve only two years instead of four, with midterm legislative elections in 2031 following the U.S. model, to separate simultaneous presidential, congressional, and municipal ballots that officials say create logistical chaos and slow result reporting.

An attorney asked Honduras's Constitutional Court on Thursday to enforce Article 374 of the constitution, which bars amendment of the presidential term-limit rule (Article 239) that prohibits anyone who has served as president from running again.
