Overview

• Buenos Aires’s electoral board asked the Interior Ministry and Correo Argentino for urgent cost and timing estimates to reprint the Boleta Única de Papel before the October 26 vote.
• Diego Santilli has been publicly tapped to head La Libertad Avanza’s list in place of José Luis Espert, but his status depends on an electoral court ruling led by Judge Alejo Ramos Padilla.
• Santilli pressed for new ballots and warned that leaving Espert’s name would be a “fraud on voters,” while saying he is focused on narrowing the 14‑point gap from September’s provincial result.
• Peronist candidate Jorge Taiana accepted a debate with Santilli only if the court confirms him atop the ticket and invited him to visit Hospital Garrahan to argue health funding and the vetoed pediatric emergency law.
• Javier Milei’s book‑launch concert at Movistar Arena drew broad criticism; Santilli defended it as energizing the base, and he appeared with Milei in Mar del Plata for campaign stops including a visit to Lamb Weston’s new plant.
