Overview
- The provincial electoral tribunal notified all parties, requested reports from the Interior Ministry and Correo Argentino, and set an Oct. 8 hearing after La Libertad Avanza sought a full reprint.
- La Libertad Avanza formally reported Espert’s resignation and asked to substitute Santilli as lead candidate, which would alter the Boleta Única de Papel already printed for Buenos Aires.
- Authorities asked for precise estimates on printing costs, budget availability, procurement needs, production timelines, and distribution to tens of thousands of polling stations.
- Opposition leaders and allied parties argue reprinting violates the single‑print rule, propose corrimiento ascendente as the remedy, and cite estimates of about 15,000 million pesos for a full Buenos Aires reprint.
- The Oct. 26 vote will debut the state‑printed Boleta Única nationwide, with standardized ballots and a ban on photographing marked ballots carrying fines up to roughly 77,000 pesos.
