Overview

• More than 14.3 million bonaerenses are eligible to renew 46 provincial deputies and 23 senators, along with municipal concejales and school counselors across eight electoral sections.
• The provincial Junta Electoral organized the contest after Governor Axel Kicillof separated the calendar from the national midterms, elevating the race’s national implications.
• The province contracted Indra to run the provisional count, while the definitive escrutinio begins September 13 in La Plata under the provincial Junta.
• By rule, no official tallies will be published before 21:00 and only when at least 30% of mesas are processed in each section to ensure a uniform snapshot.
• Authorities deployed 34,788 security personnel, including 28,778 provincial police and roughly 6,000 federal forces, as the morning featured delayed openings and some missing ballots; election officials rejected claims of police confinement and confirmed that 'voto comando' is not authorized.
