Deputies propose avoiding changes to electoral legislation weeks before the Buenos Aires elections.

A group of Buenos Aires deputies presented a bill seeking to block changes to electoral legislation in the weeks leading up to the Buenos Aires elections . The initiative stipulates that any reform to the voting system must be implemented within 180 days of being approved , to ensure institutional stability and prevent partisan advantages.

The text was promoted by Gustavo Cuervo , president of the Union, Renewal, and Faith bloc, along with legislators Fabián Luayza , Viviana Romano , and Martín Rozas . All of them took aim at initiatives that attempt to modify key rules in the midst of an election campaign.

The bill establishes that no changes to the voting system, seat distribution, or electoral financing may be implemented immediately. The goal is to ensure that the rules are clear and not altered close to an election.

"Democratic practice demands that, in an election year, the rules not be changed. It's an unwritten rule, but it's essential to ensuring transparency," they noted.

They also warned that these types of changes to electoral legislation only generate distrust. "Changing the rules of the game at the last minute is a worrying sign about how power is understood," they added.

The legislators noted that so far this year there have been attempts at reforms promoted by sectors of the ruling party. They claim that these proposals respond to "temporary interests" rather than to improving the system.

The document also warns about the effects of recent national reforms, which have already altered the political landscape. "In this context, predictability is needed, not more uncertainty," they explained.

At the same time, the deputies of the "dialogue-oriented" libertarian bloc expressed their "firm and categorical rejection" of the bill on indefinite reelections , which has already received preliminary approval in the Buenos Aires Senate.

For the moment, this initiative remains stalled in the Chamber of Deputies. The tension arises in a context marked by the rise of Javier Milei and the need to preserve democratic rules.
