Buenos Aires Province Holds Sept. 7 Legislative Elections With Party Ballots

Officials emphasize that the provincial-only ballot follows Buenos Aires rules, urging voters to verify their polling place.

Overview

  • The desdobled vote on Sunday renews 46 provincial deputies, 23 senators, and local councillors and school board members across 135 municipalities.
  • The province will use traditional multi‑party paper ballots, unlike the national vote on October 26 that will implement the Boleta Única de Papel.
  • Under Ley 5.109, counts register affirmative, blank and identity‑impugned votes, with Article 103 requiring fingerprint checks and anonymized openings for contested envelopes.
  • The Junta Electoral expects provisional results from about 21:00 after polls close, with the definitive count beginning days later.
  • Voting is compulsory for most adults though outlets differ on the upper age threshold and fine amounts; voters should consult the Junta Electoral for rules, valid IDs and how to justify absence within 60 days (deadline November 6).
