Despite reforms after the 1990 elections , including a new electoral roll, these elections were also branded fraudulent.[ 3] Pact for Democracy (Pacto por la Democracia ) was reached, which shortened the presidential term to two years, allowing new elections to be held in 1996 in which Balaguer would not run (for the first time since 1966).[ 3]
