Buenos Aires residents favor Single Paper Ballot system

A public opinion poll conducted by the consultancy Isonomía in April 2026 indicates that 64% of residents in the Province of Buenos Aires support the adoption of the Single Paper Ballot (Boleta Única Papel) for upcoming elections. Within this group, 46% expressed being ‘totally in agreement’ and 18% were ‘quite in agreement’ with moving away from the traditional party ballot system.

Key drivers for this support include the guarantee of a complete electoral offering on a single sheet. Approximately 67% of respondents consider it ‘very important’ or ‘quite important’ that all candidates are present without relying on party monitoring or the manual replenishment of ballots in voting booths.

Economic and environmental factors also play a significant role. The study found that 65% of those surveyed value the fiscal savings achieved by not printing millions of extra ballots, while 61% view the reduction of environmental impact from paper waste as a significant benefit. The poll, which included 1,200 participants with a margin of error of ±2.83%, suggests that 2026 could be a decisive year for legislative reforms ahead of the 2027 elections.
