In 1991, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay signed the Asunción Treaty, whose purpose was to set up a common economic market, Mercosur (an acronym meaning Mercado Común del Sur, or Southern Cone Common Market). Mercosurean migrants receive special treatment in the bloc. They enjoy broad legal protection and benefits in comparison to other aliens and have been incorporated into labor, civil, and social rights regimes. However, some political rights, electoral rights in particular, have not been improved. I examine political inequality before the law in a critical analysis of electoral legislation in the original four Mercosur states, focusing on migrants rights to vote and to be candidates in local, regional, and national elections. The main findings of this study are that (a) electoral laws consistently discriminate against migrants, (b) each country has its own legal framework for discrimination, and (c) these discriminatory laws constitute gaps in the social and economic protections provided by Mercosur.
