Santa Fe’s New Constitution Finalized, Swearing-In Set for Friday

A sweeping overhaul advances to enactment after two‑thirds majorities on nearly all provisions.

Overview

  • The drafting committee in Rosario completed the final compaginación on Monday at the UNR’s Espacio Cultural Universitario and sent the text to print.
  • Delegates meet Tuesday and Wednesday for the last plenaries to read 161 articles and 25 transitional clauses before Friday’s oath at the provincial Legislature.
  • The charter takes legal effect upon publication, expected Friday under the approved transition clause.
  • Reforms authorize re-election for governor and vice-governor within an eight-year cap for all elective offices and strengthen municipal autonomy.
  • The text constitutionalizes the 'Ficha Limpia' disqualifications, overhauls mechanisms to select and remove judges, prosecutors and defenders, and removes an official religion while expressly recognizing the Catholic Church.
