Argentina’s Definitive Recounts Validate Most Results as Buenos Aires Holds the Balance

The decisive Buenos Aires province tally will set the final distribution of seats in the next Chamber of Deputies.

Overview

  • Final, legally binding counts in Catamarca, Entre Ríos, La Pampa, Misiones and San Juan confirmed the provisional results without altering party standings.
  • Additional districts reported by provincial authorities, including Chaco, Chubut, Santa Cruz and La Rioja, also ratified their provisional tallies and projected seat splits.
  • The binding recount in Buenos Aires province began Wednesday with La Libertad Avanza ahead of Fuerza Patria by roughly 46,000 to 46,600 votes, and officials indicate the process could extend into next week.
  • In the City of Buenos Aires, the definitive count will decide the last deputy seat as provisional D’Hondt calculations leave Martín Lousteau about 1,411 votes ahead of LLA’s Valeria Rodrígues Trimarchi.
  • Electoral authorities stress that only the definitive tally is legally valid, and in Catamarca a federal judge reported no significant deviations from the provisional count as local officials rejected LLA complaints about the provincial review.
