Overview
- Unidos is working this week to issue a majority dictamen in joint commissions and take the Código Electoral y de Partidos Políticos (260 articles) for media sanción in Diputados on Thursday with a goal of Senate ratification around August 27.
- The draft sets five separate PASO ballots for 2027 and three combined ballots for the general election to concentrate top-ticket influence on legislative lists.
- Negotiators are discussing a higher entry threshold for D'Hondt seat distribution, with parties proposing 3%, 3.5%, 5% and a likely 4% compromise that would make it harder for small parties to win seats.
- The bill would abolish 14 provincial laws and replace the current Electoral Tribunal with a provincial electoral judge drawn from the Colegio de Jueces en lo Contencioso Administrativo, a change contested by some Justicialist senators.
- Smaller blocs such as Somos Vida and the Frente Amplio por la Soberanía warn they could sue if thresholds rise, making Unidos' intra-coalition deals and outreach to other blocs decisive for final passage.
