The initiative, promoted by Governor Claudio Vidal, obtained a favorable clearance in the Constitutional Affairs Commission of the Legislature of the Patagonian district.
The Motto Law, questioned by broad political and social sectors, has been in force since 1988 and, if its repeal is completed, it could be replaced in 2025 by the national electoral system, including the PASO.
The current regulations, officially known as the double simultaneous and cumulative voting system, allow each party or alliance to constitute a motto, which is in turn composed of sub-lemmas or internal lists of each group that allow each political space to present the number of candidates. that you want.
When the final count is carried out, the total number of votes received by each sublemma is added and the winner is the candidate with the slogan that obtained the most votes: this modality often grants power against the will of the majority.
The elimination of the Motto Law had been one of Vidal’s campaign commitments, who had defined it as “a true fraud of democratic representativeness.”
