The president of the Paraguayan Congress, Basilio “Bachi” Núñez, announced he will present an electoral reform bill to allow each voter to vote for up to two candidates from the same party list, expanding the current system of open closed lists. The proposal will first be debated in the Governing Board of the Colorado Party.
Senator Lilian Samaniego calls for a technical audit of electronic voting machines for the Colorado Party internal elections on June 7, while Congress President Basilio Núñez announces a bill to expand preferential votes from one to two in the 2028 general elections.
Paraguayan Senator Esperanza Martínez stated that coordination among Frente Guasú, the PLRA, and other sectors is advancing in 138 municipalities, but acknowledged internal tensions and challenges posed by preferential voting. She defended territorial alliances as key for municipal elections.
