Despite reforms after the
1990 elections , including a new electoral roll, these elections were also branded fraudulent.
[3] Following the election an agreement known as the
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).
