Overview
- Law 27.781 moves all districts to the Boleta Única de Papel, placing every list on one official ballot and ending party printing and distribution.
- Voters will present a DNI, receive a signed ballot and a pen, mark their choice in a booth, fold the ballot to preserve secrecy, show the signature for verification, and place it directly in the urn.
- Administrative rules prohibit photographing the ballot, provide for assisted voting, allow replacement of a spoiled ballot, and require returning the supplied pen.
- Election authorities including Alejandro Tullio and Gustavo Mason say there are no reasons for concern about the system’s integrity and expect quicker voting thanks to a single marked ballot.
- Parties and civic groups are stepping up voter education, with campaigns in places like Jujuy using replicas of the ballot to explain how to cast a valid vote and share candidate information.
