Overview

• Four in ten Argentine voters are casting ballots in an atypical contest split into eight simultaneous sections after a scheduling change driven by Governor Axel Kicillof.
• The outcome is being read as a gauge of President Javier Milei’s program and Kicillof’s provincial leadership, with signals for October’s national vote and the 2027 cycle.
• Official tallies will be released from 21:00 or once 30% of each section is counted, focusing attention on participation levels rather than a single provincewide total.
• The Tercera sección remains a peronist stronghold, while the Primera is the pivotal battleground featuring figures such as Diego Valenzuela for LLA and Gabriel Katopodis for the PJ.
• Late-campaign turbulence includes leaked audios alleging irregularities at ANDIS that name Karina Milei and associates, plus an LLA feud over Daniel Parisini’s attack on Senator Luis Juez that prompted swift damage control.
