The 14 Oct 2001 election marked a watershed in the Argentine political system for at least two reasons. First, the government did not actively support any candidate standing in the election. Secondly, it was the first time that a considerable proportion of the electorate declined to be represented by any of the political parties; instead, they either abstained or spoiled their ballot paper. In addition, the 2001 election marked the first time that the entire Senate was directly elected by a popular vote, following an amendment to the constitution in 1994. 2 Tables, 3 References.
