Following his announcement a day earlier, President Javier Milei sent Congress from Israel an electoral reform bill eliminating PASO primaries, introducing a 'ficha limpia' rule, tightening party rules, and overhauling financing. The move aims to save over $200 million and reduce state involvement in party internals, drawing mixed opposition reactions.
Ricardo Monreal explained that the constitutional reform approved by Congress will not take effect for the 2027 elections but instead from the 2030 presidential vote. The measure requires secondary legislation that cannot be passed in time.
