This Sunday in Argentina the legislative elections are held in which 127 representatives of the Chamber of Deputies and 24 of the Senate are elected in the different provinces.
Therefore, if you have doubts about the main points to take into account before going to vote at the polls, we leave you the main aspects that you have to know before going to vote.
Can I vote with the virtual DNI?
The mobile application "My Argentina" includes personal data, vaccination schedule, permits and, also, the National Identity Document -DNI-in virtual format.
However, the National Electoral Chamber warns that this format on the cell phone is not valid when casting the vote.
The valid document to vote is the one that appears in the register or a later version.
Always in its physical version.
These include: civic book, enrollment book, green book ID, blue book ID, card ID and even the card with the legend "Not valid to vote."

How do I know if my vote is valid?
Another point to take into account when casting the vote are the valid ways to count our election.
For a vote to be valid, it can be an affirmative vote, or a blank vote.
For the vote to be affirmative, there must be a single official ballot for each position in the envelope.
It can be from the same and only political group or from different political groupings or lists.

The vote is counted as blank when the envelope is empty, contains a piece of paper (of any color), without images, texts or foreign objects or when the envelope contains an official ballot, but the body corresponding to a category is missing, in which In this case, a “blank vote” will be considered only for that category.
Void votes, on the other hand, are those that are emitted by means of unofficial ballots, or that contain sufficient defects as to annul the electoral option.
They can be ballots from past or falsified elections, ballots with partial, total or erasure destruction or with inscriptions and legends.

What are the health protocols like?
In times of covid-19, the procedures when accessing the polls were updated to adapt to the situation the world is going through.
From the National Electoral Chamber they asked that the use of the chinstrap, social distancing and hand sanitization be respected.
For its part, thanks to the improvement in the numbers of infections and deaths from covid-19, voters are no longer required to wait outside the establishments to cast their vote, but there will be a single line within each place.
In turn, the maximum of 8 tables per establishment is maintained and the hours from 10.30 to 12.30 with priority for the elderly to vote are extended throughout the day.
