Large Abstention Forecast
If the national elections were
held now, 32 of each 100
registered voters would abstain,
a Unimer survey for the Spanish
language daily La Nación
found.
Another 12 percent
say that they are still in doubt
about whether to cast their
ballots or not on the coming
presidential election, which is
to be held the first Sunday in
February 2006.
On the other
hand, 54 percent say that they
will vote, but only 11 percent
are absolutely sure they will do
so and have already chosen a
candidate.
Abstention is blamed
on a weakening of democracy,
particularly because of misuse
of powers and the inefficiency
of politicians.
