In 1930 the first successful military coup in Argentina in the twentieth century interrupted the normal functioning of the political and electoral institutions consolidated by the Sáenz Peña Law of 1912. This statute required secret balloting by all Argentine men eighteen and older. The coup of 1930, followed by a failed attempt to achieve legitimatization at the ballot box in 1931, reversed the development of electoral politics in Argentina by reverting to open fraud and provoking the abstention of the main national political party up to that time, the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR).

This research note was translated from Spanish by Sharon Kellum and Gilbert W. Merkx. The authors wish to express their thanks to Marta Valle, Chief of the Departamento de Estadísticas of the Dirección Nacional Electoral, Ministerio del Interior, for her help in obtaining voting information. They are equally grateful to Gerardo Adrogué, Isidoro Cheresky, Gilbert Merkx, Sharon Kellum, and the anonymous LARR readers for their helpful comments. The data used in this study are part of the historical-electoral database that the authors are compiling for the Centro de Estudios de Opinión Pública (CEDOP-UBA) in the Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani of the Facultad de Ciencias Sociales at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. Construction of the database has partly relied on a grant from the Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica of the Universidad de Buenos Aires since 1995.
