Overview

• Nearly one million people are called to the polls on August 31 to choose governor and vice, renew provincial chambers, and elect municipal authorities in 73 localities.
• Seven tickets are on the ballot, with the race centered on Juan Pablo Valdés (Vamos Corrientes), Ricardo Colombi (Encuentro por Corrientes), Lisandro Almirón (La Libertad Avanza) and Martín Ascúa (Peronism).
• The Justicia Electoral reports 950,576 registered voters and 2,808 mesas across the province for Sunday’s vote.
• Supporters of Lisandro Almirón and capital mayoral hopeful Gustavo Canteros raised concerns about possible fraud tied to paper ballots and alleged control of the count, which the provincial Junta Electoral publicly denied.
• Corrientes split its provincial calendar from the national elections set for October 26, and a second round remains possible under provincial rules with potential national strategic implications.
