Argentian participants reflected the insights they gained from the CBP through the revision of relevant national laws. For example, a genderbased finance clause was included in the revised Political Parties Financing Law. The new clause stipulates that some of the budget of any political party should be allocated for the purpose of providing education for female voters. - Kiribati
Following participation in the CBP, the Ministry of Justice drafted and tabled a new act, entitled the Election Act 2019, to address the “votebuying” issue. It was passed in the Parliament and came into force on 1 November 2019. - Mongolia
