This article describes the municipal organization in Argentina which is currently conformed by 2,222 local governments. Within this framework, the access of women to executive and legislative positions is analyzed in relation to quota laws and electoral systems in force in these districts. According to the main conclusions the data presented do not support the hypothesis which establishes that women access to decision-making positions is greater at the local level. Also is sustained that parity overcomes some barriers to the efficiency of the quota laws.
