Bolivia recall election wording

The working of the questions is interesting, which others have commented on before. Here they are:

¿Usted está de acuerdo con la continuidad del proceso de cambio liderizado por el presidente Evo Morales Ayma y el vicepresidente Álvaro García Linera?

¿Usted está de acuerdo con la continuidad de las políticas, las acciones y la gestión del prefecto del departamento?

Neither question actually asks whether voters want to keep the incumbent (though everyone has interpreted them this way, as will voters). And neither question really asks the same thing. The question for president/vp asks whether voters approve the “continuation” of the “process of change.” The question for prefects asks whether voters approve the “continuation” of the prefect’s “policies, actions, and administration.” The first question allows voters to reject specific policies or actions of the president/vp, while still supporting the “process” of change (in broad strokes). The second question asks voters to approve/reject prefects based on policies or actions, but ignore the broad strokes.

Clearly, voters won’t interpret it this way. But it’s interesting that the wording is made that way. There’s no reason why the wording of the question couldn’t have been identical (using the prefect question language, which is more clear).
