Corrientes Votes Sunday With Runoff in Play as Valdés Leads Fragmented Field

Voters choose a new governor under rules that force a 26 October runoff unless a candidate reaches 45% or 40% with a 10‑point lead.

Overview

  • Authorities list 950,576 eligible voters across 2,808 mesas, with the definitive roll available online for polling‑place lookup by DNI and gender.
  • Seven tickets are on the ballot for governor and vice, led by Juan Pablo Valdés (Vamos Corrientes), Martín “Tincho” Ascúa (Limpiar Corrientes), Ricardo Colombi (ECO) and Lisandro Almirón (La Libertad Avanza).
  • Pre‑election surveying by Federico González places Valdés ahead but below first‑round thresholds, suggesting a significant chance of a second round.
  • Opposition parties questioned vote‑transmission procedures involving Andreani and filed a last‑minute remedy that the provincial court rejected.
  • Campaign tensions flared when Karina Milei’s visit ended in scuffles, underscoring national attention on an election seen as a test for major political forces.
