Permanent Resident Voting Rights

[mcaffa]

I came across an article about this very topic yesterday. I believe it just applies to those who live in the Provincia de Buenos Aires and not in Capital:

Los extranjeros estarán obligados a votar en la provincia de Buenos Aires

I'm just wondering if I have to register with the Registro de Electores Extranjeros or am I automatically registered since I have a DNI and a registered address in GBA for the last 3+ years. I really would prefer not to go through the hassle of voting but I want to avoid being fined if I have, indeed, been automatically added to the registry.

It's short notice but here's more info on the new voting obligations for residents. Apparently, it's only a 2 year residence requirement and if you're not automatically included on the Padron Electoral you have to go to the Delegacion de Registro de las Personas to register.

Does voting in local elections in any way compromise US citizenship?

Can you actually lose US citizenship as someone born there??
