Overview

• Voters in the Province of Buenos Aires will elect provincial legislators, municipal councilors and school counselors on Sunday, September 7, 2025.
• Clarín states that voting is mandatory for Argentine citizens aged 18 to 70, with exemptions for those over 70, under 18, the ill, on-duty police, polling officials or people more than 500 km from their polling place with proper proof.
• Local outlet Diario La Capital tells readers the obligation applies to everyone older than 16 who appears on the provincial electoral roll, highlighting guidance aimed at first‑time voters.
• Those who do not vote must justify their absence within 60 days or face fines reported at ARS 1,000–2,000 and entry in the Register of Infractors, which can trigger temporary limits on public-sector procedures or eligibility for certain roles.
• Authorities advise checking polling details at padron.gba.gob.ar, bringing a DNI, and using the traditional party ballot system with an envelope in the voting booth, distinct from the national single paper ballot to be used in October.
