Overview

  • The nationwide Boleta Única de Papel will debut in the October 26 congressional elections under the 2024 Electoral Code reform (Law 27.781).
  • The ballot’s layout is set by Decree 1049/24, and voters will mark a white box with a black pen, fold the paper to protect secrecy, verify the original signature, place it in the urn, and then sign the register.
  • Decree 915/2024 defines validity and nullity, requiring one clear mark per category within the designated box or the vote counts as blank.
  • The electoral authority published a step-by-step guide explaining presentation of the DNI, receipt of the ballot and pen, marking, folding, depositing the ballot, and signing the padrón.
  • Mendoza’s electoral board unveiled local models and confirmed two urns with distinct colors—celeste for the national Boleta Única Electoral and verde for the provincial ballot—while the Godoy Cruz BUE remains pending due to a court claim by PJ candidate Martín González.
