The approval of Law No. 17,284 in 1970 led to a rise in voter participation. These elections marked the implementation of the reform on a nationwide scale, resulting in the highest level of voter engagement within the previous democratic system. Around 80.6% of the electorate (equivalent to 44% of the national population) were registered to vote, and 81% of the registered voters (approximately 3.7 million individuals) exercised their right to vote.
