2025 Elections: Around 3 p.m., the voter registration in Mendoza was approaching 50%.

In some With the 2025 legislative elections featuring various specificities, citizen participation is one of the key aspects under scrutiny. It has been declining in recent elections, and some analysts predict it could even fall below 60% this time around.

Therefore, it is striking that by noon, 25% of the Mendoza electorate had voted. That is, one in every four eligible voters in the province for these national and provincial legislative elections, which run until 6:00 PM.

However, it should be noted that this is a provincial average. For example, at some polling stations at the San Luis Gonzaga school, half of the voters had already voted by that time. This was reported by Susana Pravata, a federal judge with electoral jurisdiction, after emphasizing that election day was proceeding peacefully .

Taking this data into account, it was unofficially revealed that the voter registration rate was above 48% around 3 p.m.

"It got off to a pretty good start, considering that the schools opened at 8 a.m., and any delays we've experienced are primarily due to the assembly of materials," the judge said. Given that these elections were held with two single paper ballots and two ballot boxes, national and provincial, she noted that voting booths had to be set up, posters posted, and other matters had to be addressed.

"He mentioned that there were some absences of officials, but that this didn't pose any major problems since there was a president and two members. "The positive thing about this election is that we had three officials, which has allowed us to, at least, start the tables with one, in some cases, and then gradually fill them up. Eventually, in some places where there may be a shortage, we will try to ensure that the three officials are present during the counting process, in order to expedite the subsequent process," he explained.

Around 3 p.m. on this election Sunday, residents of the Uco Valley also went to the polls, but not all of them. At that time, the turnout in San Carlos was between 30% and 40%.

"I'm afraid we'll be below or at 60%. I attribute this to the fact that there are no currents of public opinion for or against anyone.

However, this did not cause any major delays, and voter accounts emphasize that casting their ballots was quick, taking no more than 10 to 15 minutes.
