In San Juan, Mayor Sergio Miodowsky has proposed electoral reforms ahead of the 2027 elections, specifically advocating for the ‘Boleta Única de Papel’ (Single Paper Ballot) to replace the current ‘sistema de lemas’ (SIPAD). Miodowsky argued that this change would increase transparency and simplify voting, while also supporting joint municipal and provincial elections to align with Governor Marcelo Orrego’s administration. In the Province of Buenos Aires, public opinion appears to favor similar reforms. An April 2026 poll by Isonomía found that 64% of residents support adopting the Single Paper Ballot system. ~~Supporters cited~~ Within this group, 46% expressed being ‘totally in agreement’ and 18% were ‘quite in agreement’ with moving away from the ~~importance~~ traditional party ballot system. Key drivers for this support include the guarantee of ~~having all candidates present~~ a complete electoral offering on a single ~~sheet~~ sheet. Approximately 67% of respondents consider it ‘very important’ or ‘quite important’ that all candidates are present without relying on party ~~monitoring, as well as~~ monitoring or the ~~potential for~~ manual replenishment of ballots in voting booths. Economic and environmental factors also play a significant role; 65% of those surveyed value the fiscal savings ~~and reduced~~ achieved by not printing millions of extra ballots, while 61% view the reduction of environmental impact from paper ~~waste.~~ waste as a significant benefit. Proponents are using these results to advocate for legislative discussions throughout 2026, aiming for the adoption of the system for the 2027 local elections.
