Blank and null votes remain low in the 2026 elections, below historic levels

The percentage remained at a similar level to that recorded in 2022, when whites and nulls represented 4.41% of the total (1.59% of whites and 2.82% of nulls).

Data from the 2026 election show a drop in this type of vote compared to disputes in the 1990s. In 1998, for example, white and null votes reached 18.7%, the highest percentage in the series, resulting in 8.03% white votes and 10.67% null votes. Since then, the indicator has shown a downward trend.

Despite the slight increase compared to 2022, this year's result confirmed the trend observed in the last two presidential elections: the proportion of voters who choose to cancel their vote or vote blank remains below the levels recorded in the past.
