You can follow these discussions on the DR1 Daily News page. The main focus is on the electoral provisions that were inserted in the 1994 constitutional revision. These are items such as the requirement for a 50%+1 of the vote, ban on presidential re-election, congressional and municipal elections held separately from the presidential elections, etc.

These discussions were spurred by comments made by the president of the Junta Central Electoral, not President-elect Hipólito Mejía who refused to discuss the issue when the matter when asked.

No, I don't know where an English version can be found. If you find a copy, let me know.
