Bolivia Elections 2025: Campaigns Begin Amidst Voter Re-Registration Drive La Paz, Bolivia – Electoral campaigns officially commenced in Bolivia on Monday, May 19th, 2025, as confirmed by a TSE official, Gustavo Ávila, in a recent Bolivia TV news report. This period will continue until August 13th. Simultaneously, the TSE is facilitating a process for over 300,000 citizens who were previously disqualified from voting to regularize their status. This is crucial for the upcoming elections on August 17th. According to Ávila, "The most important restriction during this campaign period is the prohibition of using state resources." He further explained the reasons for voter disqualification, stating that it was primarily due to non-participation in the last two electoral processes or failure to update voter registration. The TSE is providing a streamlined online process for those seeking re-registration. The video shows citizens actively participating in campaign activities and others utilizing online platforms to regularize their voter status. The TSE's initiative to simplify the process underscores its commitment to ensuring broad participation in the upcoming elections, offering a positive outlook for democratic engagement in Bolivia.
