Elections will be held on Sunday 12 September. #PASO2021.
From #PlanCountryArgentina we tell you
things you need to know before you go to vote:
What you will vote for: You will vote for pre-candidates for national legislators: deputies and senators. In other words, you are going to vote for which deputies and senators, of all those running in these primary elections representing your province, will make it to the general elections in November 2021.
Who you vote for: this is your own, very personal choice. Nothing or no one should tell you who to vote for, or convince you in any way. The vote is secret, only you will know what you put inside the envelope. You don't have to tell anyone. You can vote for whoever best represents you, from any political party, or even from several parties by cutting the ballot paper, as long as it is for different offices.
Why you have to vote: voting is the best way for citizens to enforce democracy in our country. Voting is an obligation, but it is also a right: no one can prohibit you from voting if you are a citizen over 16 years of age and you are on the Electoral Roll.
What happens if the ballot(s) of the candidates you want to elect are not in the darkroom: in that case, you leave the darkroom and tell the polling station authorities that "ballots are missing". You should not say exactly which ones are missing, so that no one knows your voting intentions. The polling station authority will ask the poll watchers to go into the room and add the missing ballots. You can then go in and choose who you prefer.
When you should not vote or can choose not to vote: You should not vote if you are isolated by COVID, close contact or have symptoms. In that case, you are exempt from the obligation to vote. You will be able to vote in the November elections. You can choose not to vote if you are between 16 and 18 years old, over 70 years old, or more than 500 km away from the place where you should vote, among others.
Bonus: where do I vote? You can go to the website www.padron.gob.ar or call 0800-999-7237 to find out the electoral section, electoral circuit, establishment, address, polling station number and order. It is important that you know these details so that you can vote quickly and in an orderly fashion.
To vote is to strengthen democracy and to build our present and our future together!
