The referent of the Freeway Foundation Beatriz Busaniche warned that the elections in CABA are going to be “a nightmare” because they are two elections with different systems on the same day. “The operational question on election day is going to be difficult. There are going to be two elections in one, two ballot boxes at each table,” said the Communication specialist.
in dialogue with Borroni New Accounta radio AM 990, Busaniche anticipated that there will be “long lines, delays” at the polling places. This is because “many people will need assistance, because many forgot how the system works” of the Single Electronic Ballot (BUE) that will be used for the Buenos Aires elections.
Organization of concurrent elections in CABA
«Rodríguez Larreta announced it in April. From there, the organization of the elections skyrocketed, ”complained the member of the Vía Libre Foundation. After emphasizing that “that day is going to be a nightmare, it is going to be difficult”, she pointed out that “the audits that were carried out were very poor”. She claimed that “the political parties are not doing anything” regarding it.
“We presented a precautionary measure several weeks ago, but it is sleeping in Justice, with deadlines completely expired,” Busaniche said. When referring to the claims to eliminate the sheet ballot, he considered that “if there is something that works well in Argentina, it is the electoral system.”
«The absenteeism of table authorities is the only serious problem we have in the elections. This type of thing (the concurrent elections in the City) discourages the table authorities », he concluded less than a month following the elections were held.
The justification of Rodríguez Larreta
In April, the presidential candidate Horacio Rodriguez Larreta announced the concurrent elections. This means that there will be two independent elections on the same day. The particularity is that there will be two different voting systems. One will be for national positions, which will be voted on with a traditional paper ballot. The election of the head of government, vice president, legislators and community members will be carried out with a single electronic ballot.
“It saves us a lot of time and avoids us unnecessary expenses,” he highlighted in a video that quickly had various replicas in his own space. As he explained, the electronic ticket implies moving to “a more agile, simpler, more transparent system.” «It is a flag of the PRO that Mauricio started [Macri] in the City in 2015 and that we also promoted together with all Together for Change at the national level”, he indicated.
