Overview

• At a La Plata press conference, Axel Kicillof explained that only the ballot handed out at the table is valid, voters mark it with a provided pen behind a biombo, there is no envelope or traditional booth, photos are prohibited, and a new ballot can be requested in case of error.
• He argued the reform is neither safer nor cheaper, citing a cost of 85,000 million pesos for the September provincial election versus roughly 150,000 million pesos projected for October under the new system in Buenos Aires Province.
• He said the September vote using traditional party ballots proceeded without fraud or significant complaints, disputing Milei’s assertions about the old method.
• He announced a voter‑education campaign to reduce confusion, avoid impugnations and limit potential turnout losses before the October 26 national election.
• He denied that Buenos Aires Province created a new tax on digital wallets, calling the rumor false and attributing it to the national government.
