The Argentine law 24,012 or Argentine quota law ((スペイン語:Ley de cupo)) seeks to increase the number of women in government in Argentina, by setting quotas for the minimum representation of women on the ballots of each party at the legislative elections. The law was enacted in 1991, during the presidency of Carlos Menem, and was the first gender quota law to be passed in Latin America.〔 Following Argentina's lead, eleven other Latin American countries have since introduced gender quotas to increase female representation at the national level.〔 ==Description== The number of female legislators elected in the 1983 general election (the first election after the National Reorganization Process) was minimal.〔Hinojosa, p. 217〕 In 1989, legislation to ensure larger representation of women was introduced by the Radical Civic Union and supported by women legislators from other parties. After initial debate in September 1990, in November 1991 the bill was passed by a large majority of the Chamber of Deputies.〔Carrio, p. 165〕 President Carlos Menem also favored the proposal.〔 It became law as an amendment to the National Electoral Code.〔 Initially, only the women who were not allowed in the party list in the required quota could request in court the compliance of the law; it was amended later to allow any citizen to denounce parties that did not follow the quota.〔 The law sets a quota of female candidates for each party, which must be both a 30% of the total of candidates, and at least one for each third name in the rank. The success of the law is caused by the characteristics of the Argentine electoral system. The parties offer a closed list of candidates, with fixed ranks, and voters must vote for the whole list of a given party. The large district magnitude helps as well.〔Hinojosa, p. 219〕
