According to the last survey of Cifra consulting firm, those who do not know yet for whom they will vote increased two percentage points with respect to the previous survey.

Reaching them is in the strategy of the parties competing for the presidency of the Republic and the seats in the Parliament in the elections scheduled for October 27.

Although polls agree that for the first round the opposition Frente Amplio (FA) is ahead, a few venture to assure that the victory of the Frente Amplio (FA) will be so resounding as to make a runoff election, to be held on November 24, unnecessary.

Cifra’s poll shows that the Front is ahead of the sum of the parties of the coalition, although it seems unlikely to avoid a second round scenario between the candidates Yamandu Orsi (FA) and Alvaro Delgado, of the National Party (PN).

The FA accumulated 44 percent of the adhesions and the sum of the government coalition reached 41 percent, with the PN in first place although giving space to the Colorado Party and its candidate, Andres Ojeda.

But Cifra found 15 percent of undecided voters, among those with little interest or less faith in politics, whose vote is usually defined in the days prior to voting.

In Uruguay the law makes voting compulsory and penalizes abstention.
