President of the Senate says that requests can shorten the processing of the PEC and anticipate the two voting rounds
TL;DR
- A proposal to end the 6x1 work schedule (44 hours reduced to 40) could be fast-tracked in the Senate.
- Senate President Davi Alcolumbre indicated that special requests could accelerate the voting process before the second round of elections.
- The Senate plenary would need to approve requests to shorten the procedural deadlines for the constitutional amendment proposal (PEC).
- Alcolumbre justified the delay in voting before the first round of elections as a request from senators to avoid 'contaminating' the electoral process.
- The PEC requires a three-fifths majority (49 out of 81 senators) in both voting rounds for approval.
