Constitution of Senegal
The foundation for freedoms, equality, suffrage and political parties, read together with later constitutional amendments.
Legal library · Senegal
Current law, connected to every decision.
KIIRAAY retains each base text, its amendment chain and its verification date. Election rules will never be derived from a draft or frozen in software without a source.
Core legislation
Three foundations, one amendment chain.
The PDFs below are unchanged local copies of official publications. The official-source links provide provenance. This English page is informational; the French texts control.

Impact on KIIRAAY
Law shapes the product.
A versioned administrative hierarchy
Analysis regions, departments, communes, neighborhoods and villages will be linked to an official source and validity period, without confusing party structure with a territorial authority.
A separate configuration for every contest
Presidential, legislative, departmental and municipal elections will each have an approved rules file. No election formula will be hard-coded.
Evidence attached to every rule
Text version, relevant provisions, effective date, counsel opinion and change history will be required before an election configuration is activated.
Separate draft · not applicable
The comprehensive April 2026 preliminary bill remains a draft.
It must not be confused with enacted Law No. 2026-10. Institutional reform drafts are monitored but configure no production rule until enactment in the Official Gazette is verified.
This library informs platform design and is not legal advice. KIIRAAY must have Senegalese counsel confirm the consolidated text, applicable provisions and calendar before each election or sensitive activation.
