Free help with civic life in Argentina

This page lists official places to learn who represents you, ask for public information, take part in Congress, read the national budget, vote, serve at the polls and report misconduct in Argentina. Every service here is run by Congress, the national government, the electoral courts or an independent public body. None takes a side on any party or candidate. Their pages are in Spanish, so each name is given as it appears there with a short English gloss. Rules for provinces and municipalities are set by each province.

Finding your representatives and levels of government

  • Constitución de la Nación Argentina (national constitution, Información Legislativa)The full text of the Constitution. The provinces keep every power not given to the federal government, elect their own governors and legislators, and each dictates its own constitution, which must ensure municipal autonomy and set its scope, so what a municipality does differs from province to province.www.argentina.gob.ar/normativa/nacional/ley-24430-804/texto
  • Diputados nacionales (national deputies, Cámara de Diputados)The Chamber of Deputies’ list of national deputies, elected directly by the people of each province and the City of Buenos Aires, with each deputy’s district and term. You can also view the list by district.www.hcdn.gob.ar/diputados
  • Senadores (senators, Senado de la Nación)The Senate’s list of senators, three for each province and three for the City of Buenos Aires, with each senator’s district, term and official email and phone. You can also view the list by province.www.senado.gob.ar/senadores/listados/listaSenadoRes
