| Sumario: | In recent years, studies on electoral legislation have moved away from those notions that characterized the Sáenz Peña Law (LSP) as the moment of rupture between two political systems, as a result of the confrontation between conservative forces and those progressive forces that were the bearers of modernization. The new contributions, in addition to analyzing elements of rupture, have highlighted some continuities that the LSP itself seemed to conceal. The law has also been analyzed within a broader framework of reforms, which exceeded the merely political sphere and also encompassed the social sphere, identifying the elements that remained in a transitional process. The analyses began to observe, for example, the safeguards adopted by the political elites to protect themselves from possible undesirable effects of the reform at the national and provincial levels. To a large extent, these safeguards were observed within a context nurtured by practices, actors, parties, networks, etc., that interacted in the political field. However, no effort has yet been made to go beyond the study of provincial situations in an articulated manner. Our interest is to contribute to bridge -at least partially- this gap. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to make an exploratory reading of the way in which the principles established by the electoral reform of 1912 were adapted to the electoral regulations of a group of provinces between 1912 and 1915. |
