Overview

• Judge Alejo Ramos Padilla formalized Diego Santilli as La Libertad Avanza’s top candidate in Buenos Aires in compliance with the National Electoral Chamber’s ruling.
• Printed voter materials will not be updated, with the Boleta Única de Papel and polling-room posters continuing to display José Luis Espert.
• La Junta Electoral bonaerense rejected LLA’s request to reprint 40,000 polling posters, calling it late, materially impossible and legally improper given the advanced operation.
• The Chamber cited Article 7 of Decree 171/2019 and Article 60 bis of the Electoral Code, overruling Ramos Padilla’s earlier gender-parity reading that would have advanced Karen Reichardt.
• Ramos Padilla publicly defended his parity rationale, warning the Chamber’s approach postponed numerous women on the list, after Espert resigned over a US$200,000 contribution from Federico 'Fred' Machado.
