description In this article we propose to analyse the behaviour of the electorate and the strategies of the political leaders of the province of Salta to resolve the tension produced within the oligarchic power structure, the forced extension of political rights in a society thought to be 'naturally' unequal. Simultaneously we are interested in giving an account of the implications of the rise to government of Yrigoyenist radicalism and the Federal Intervention of 1918, which make explicit the questioning of the ingrained way of 'doing' and 'thinking' electoral competition in the local social space. We wonder to what extent the old principles of unanimity and consent that accompanied the local political game will be questioned in the new scenario posed by the irruption of national politics and the expansion of electoral rights, considered as rights of individuals against a local political culture that had processed suffrage as a corporate and unanimous gesture.

En este artículo nos proponemos analizar el comportamiento del electorado y las estrategias de los dirigentes políticos de la provincia de Salta para resolver la tensión que produce en el seno de la estructura del poder oligárquico, la forzada ampliación de los derechos políticos en una sociedad pensada como ‘naturalmente’ desigual. Simultáneamente nos interesa dar cuenta sobre las implicancias que tuvo el ascenso al gobierno del radicalismo yrigoyenista y la Intervención Federal de 1918, que hacen explícitos los cuestionamientos a la arraigada forma de ‘hacer’ y ‘pensar’ la competencia electoral en el espacio social local. Nos preguntamos hasta qué punto los antiguos principios de unanimidad y consentimiento que acompañaron el juego político local serán interpelados en el nuevo escenario planteado por la irrupción de la política nacional y la ampliación de los derechos electorales, considerados como derechos de los individuos frente a una cultura política local que había procesado al sufragio como un gesto corporativo y unánime.
