Buenos Aires Province Holds Split Legislative and Municipal Elections Today

The outcome is widely viewed as a bellwether for October’s national vote.

Overview

  • Polls open from 8:00 to 18:00 for roughly 14.3 million eligible voters at more than 41,000 tables across the province.
  • The vote renews 46 provincial deputies and 23 senators, plus municipal councils and school boards, with seats allocated by the province’s eight electoral sections.
  • The system uses traditional party paper ballots, while the national election on October 26 will employ the Boleta Única de Papel.
  • Provisional results are scheduled from 21:00 once at least 30% of mesas per section are uploaded, with the definitive count starting later.
  • Parties have framed the contest as a national test, with La Libertad Avanza, Fuerza Patria and Somos Buenos Aires competing in key First and Third sections.
