Single Paper Ballot: one ballot for everyone

Law 27.781 adds a new Chapter IV (Title III) to the National Electoral Code (Law 19.945) that replaces the system of multiple party ballots with the Single Paper Ballot as the voting instrument for all national electoral processes. Art. 62 establishes the BUP; art. 62 bis sets the content (categories, groupings, candidate names and photos, boxes to vote); art. 62 ter sets the design (non-transparent paper, district/circuit identification, standardized printing); art. 63 orders its approval in a public hearing at least 45 days before the election; and art. 63 bis regulates ballot alignment for homonymous groupings and alliances. verif · Oct 18, 2024 ↗
