The  National Electoral Chamber (CNE) established the electoral calendar for the legislative elections on October 26, following the suspension of the PASO.

Extraordinary Agreement No. 26 details the key dates for the consultation of electoral rolls, submission of candidacies, and development of the electoral campaign, in addition to the implementation of the Single Paper Ballot.

Suspension of the judicial recess and training

Additionally, it will be defined how the training of polling station authorities and voters for the new voting modality will be implemented.
