The ruling party insists on the repeal of the primaries and a modification to the Organic Law of Political Parties.
After the failed attempt to complete the Clean Record electoral reform in Deputiesthe Government returned to the fight for the elimination of the electoral body of the PASSED, attempt that was already proposed during the debate on the Omnibus law. If it were to have sufficient consensus, a situation that has not yet occurred, it would still have to wait for a new period of ordinary sessions in Congressor discuss the topic on tables next week.
Specifically, the proposal seeks the repeal of the Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primaries Regimepresent in Law No. 26,571, while determining changes in the requirements for the officialization of the lists, the publication of registers and the regime of Single Ballot to adapt the reform. If it does not call extraordinary sessions, the ruling party would not be able to implement the modification for the 2025 elections.
Among its arguments, the project maintains that from the passing of the law to the present “if at that time institutional policy was separated from social demands by a gap, by the end of 2023 that dissociation had to be measured in terms of abysses“. “This statement finds support in almost all of the surveys carried out over the last few years in which the feelings and opinions of Argentines were revealed regarding the general situation of the country, the quality of the republican institutions, the level of identification with party politics and to their expectation that a better future is possible,” the editorial adds.

Reform of the Organic Law of Political Parties
Other proposals seek to reform articles of the Organic Law of Political Parties No. 23,298, establishing as a requirement for recognize the legal-political personality the request of a group of “at least 50 citizen voters from the corresponding district”, a circumstance that until now established percentage values (a figure of no less than four per thousand of the total number of registered voters).
At the same time, and among other modifications, it aims to increase the number of provincial branches necessary (takes 5 to 10) to guarantee recognition as a national party; reduces the days to formalize a alliance (80 days to 70 days before the elections); makes the requirements for party membership; and proposes the expiration of a political party if in one of the last two national elections it does not reach 3% of the votes.
The period granted by the initiative to the adaptation of the party’s organic charters is 180 days.
