The mayor of Montevideo, Carolina Cossé, addressed this Saturday to undecided people in the face of the referendum for the 135 articles of the Urgent Consideration Law (LUC) and asked them that, instead of voting blank, cancel your vote.
“We collected a huge number of signatures so that people had the opportunity to be undecided. If people do not come to a definition, which is absolutely respectable, do not be fooled by the blank vote. Voting blank is voting No. If you did not define yourself, vote a Yes ballot, a No ballot and cancel the vote,” he told Telemundo.
The mayor of Montevideo, Carolina Cosse, asked the undecided to vote annulled on March 27 and not blank “because it means voting NO.”

“If you don’t decide, don’t get caught up in the blank vote. I chose both, together with the envelope and bye,” he insisted.
Cosse’s definition was given during a tour of the Prado, in Montevideo. There he specified that voters will be “legislators for a day” at the time of voting, so, he assumes, “it is not an easy decision.”
As he stressed, the law under discussion “generates a substantial and negative change for the children and grandchildren of Uruguay.”
A new Teams survey released on Wednesday night in Underlined indicated that 35% of Uruguayans would vote to maintain the 135 articles of the LUC and 34% would repeal them. In addition, 28% said they were undecided, 1% would vote blank and 2% canceled.
