Digital administrative and legal advancements in Argentina/​

Overview

Argentina and Peru have implemented various digital platforms to enhance administrative and legal processes.

In late July 2026, Argentina introduced an online register allowing citizens to verify their political party affiliation, while Peru launched a digital system for over 800,000 citizens to check their status as poll-table members for upcoming municipal and regional elections.

By mid-August 2026, the focus expanded to legal technology. Argentina’s Colegio de Escribanos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires launched the Plataforma Ciudadana de Firmas (PCF), a tool for signing contracts and agreements using biometric analysis to ensure security. Concurrently, in Peru, research highlighted that digital signatures are legally valid under the principle of functional equivalence, though the country faces hurdles such as limited technological interoperability and a need for better training for legal operators.
