Erratum on this revision's envelope. The snapshot, its hash and its permanent link are untouched.
- createdAt previously read 2026-08-29T13:00:00Z. The batching script that produced this revision advanced createdAt into the future to satisfy the strictly-increasing order the validator requires per entity. The value never recorded a real event; the corrected value is the moment the revision provably existed in the repository. Corrected to 2026-08-27T02:33:50Z on 2026-08-27; evidence: first appears in commit 36d00a0e15, committed 2026-08-27T02:33:50Z.

Peer-reviewed, July 2020. Analyses the 2018 cycle and finds selected projects 'tend to be more general than in the face-to-face participatory budgeting', attributing the shift to platform design rather than citizen deliberation. Explicitly does NOT measure whether winning projects were built — which is why the entry carries no impact figure.

18 July 2017. Carries the comunas counterweight: legislator Adrián Camps calls BA Elige 'a way to bypass all the activity of the communes… participatory budgeting managed directly from the executive power without participation of neighbours through communal consultative councils'. Communal representatives Zicolill and Suarez say the mechanism 'can be easily manipulated by political operators'. Supports the bypass claim in the snippet; does not evidence any specific manipulation case, so none is asserted.

Single documented case of a winner not built: a Comuna 5 plaza declared a winner on 21 Sept 2017, told five days later it was 'inviable, ya que no tenemos jurisdicción sobre el terreno', then removed from the published winners list. One case, not a rate — the entry does not generalise from it.

Bill to create a commune-level participatory budget in CABA, describing it as the second time such a programme would exist and referencing BA Elige's 2017 launch — corroborating that no participatory budget currently runs in the city. Gives no end date for BA Elige.

Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
