Political apathy not only translates into low percentages of voters who are participating in the provincial elections this 2023. In Santa Fe another alarm went off: a few days before the PASO, which will take place on Sunday 16, A third of the table authorities still need to be confirmed.
“At the moment We have confirmed around 16,000 authorities and we need 25,500”, detailed the electoral secretary Pablo Ayala in dialogue with LT10, radio Universidad del Litoral. And he completed: “Until the last day we continue to make designations, today in the afternoon we are going to let the schools know who all the confirmed and unconfirmed designated authorities are. And on Thursday we are going to send them who was left in the register of applicants and who could be summoned if necessary ”.
It is that, anticipating the problem that was caused in 2019 due to resignations the same electoral Sunday of those who were designated as table authority, This 2023 they created a confirmation system for those called up: the telegram had to be answered in the affirmative. That eliminates surprises on the day of the elections, but translates the disenchantment with politics into the previous one.
Beyond the citation as table authority It is a public charge, it does not stop being rented: According to the electoral court, a head of the premises or the school (maximum authority) will charge $20,000 for each election and the table authorities $15,000, the same as the scrutiny assistant and the auxiliaries. Payment must be made 15 days after PASS.
Even so, the offer does not seduce those summoned. In fact, of the 25,000 people who had been sent a telegram in the first instance, half excused themselves from participating in the electoral act. To fill vacancies They opened a voluntary register of applicantsbut with which they also failed to get all the necessary prosecutors.
In any case, Ayala assured that the election is guaranteed with the number of confirmed authorities. It is that the polling station can be constituted with two people, despite the fact that the ideal is three.
