Buenos Aires Votes Sept. 7 Using Traditional Party Ballots as Final Register Updates Take Effect

An updated online register under Ley 5.109 guides a stand‑alone provincial vote distinct from October’s national election.

Overview

  • Voters will choose 46 provincial deputies and 23 senators, along with municipal councilors and school counselors, after the province scrapped PASO and fixed candidate lists.
  • The province will keep multiple party paper ballots for this election, whereas the Oct. 26 national vote will use a single paper ballot.
  • Judicial changes reassigned many polling places and added centers, so voters are urged to confirm school, mesa and order in the definitive online padrón before Sunday.
  • Voting is compulsory for citizens 18–69 and optional for 16–17 and those 70 or older, with sanctions for unjustified absence and a 60‑day window to file excuses through Nov. 6.
  • Provisional results are slated to be released after 21:00 on Sept. 7, with the definitive count beginning Sept. 13, and coverage describes a head‑to‑head in the Primera Sección between Fuerza Patria and La Libertad Avanza.
