The National Electoral Court criticized the government for failing to adopt measures to improve the transparency of Sunday's election.

Regardless of the proposals made by the court, "regretfully, the political powers have not responded to those requirements," it stated in a communiqué.

The court alluded to "problems with the ballots" reported in the last elections, which, although they were never dully reported to the courts and did not erode the legitimacy of the elections, "they should have initiated a debate on the laws that regulate the electoral process and the right to vote," the court stated.

The report also mentioned that it had "repeatedly urged the authorities to analyze possible amendments to the laws to improve the quality and transparency of the electoral process."

The statement of the court comes amid controversial comments made by different parties of the opposition, decrying that the government was planning to conduct fraud in the midterm vote. Earlier this year, the Social and Civic Accord had requested that the Organization of American States supervise the election, sparking critics from government officials defending the actions of the Kirchner administration.

The court meanwhile declined it would participate in the vote recount, which would fall out of its jurisdiction.

"The interior Minister is in charge of the vote recount, and it's outside the jurisdiction of the electoral courts, which have not been given any participation in the design, planning, organization, processing, recount and communication of the results," the court criticized.
