Overview
- Coalición Cívica filed a bill to make primary elections optional in 2027, limiting PASO to parties with real internal contests and ending compulsory voting for that stage.
- UCR leaders are advancing a reform centered on a single paper ballot that lists all candidates on one sheet, known locally as Boleta Única de Papel.
- A previously filed BUP bill in the provincial legislature carries the signatures of deputies Diego Garciarena, Agustín Forchelli, and Maricel Etchecoin.
- UCR organizers plan April public forums with experts and a tour of the province’s eight electoral sections to seek backing from other blocs.
- Proponents say the BUP would simplify voting, ensure every party’s slate is in the booth, and cut printing and logistics costs, while PASO changes aim to avoid expensive, low-stakes primaries; Peronist lawmakers are drafting their own counterproposals and no law has changed yet.
