La Libertad Avanza Appeals Buenos Aires Ballot Reprint Denial as National Electoral Chamber Weighs Decision

The chamber is considering whether to overturn a provincial finding that a nine‑day, ARS 12.17 billion reprint is unfeasible.

Hasta ahora, los rostros de Espert y Karen Reichardt aparecerán en las boletas, pese a que el economista ya no es candidato.
"Candidaturas verdaderas, no ficticias"

Overview

  • La Libertad Avanza formally appealed on October 11 to the National Electoral Chamber to reverse the Buenos Aires electoral junta’s rejection of reprinting the provincial paper ballot, reserving the right to seek Supreme Court review if needed.
  • The request stems from José Luis Espert’s resignation from the list following reports linking him to a businessman under investigation, with the party seeking to prevent his image from appearing on the October 26 ballot.
  • The provincial junta deemed a mass reprint “materially, temporally and legally unviable,” noting 14 million ballots already printed and verified, and warning that a redo would disrupt distribution and the electoral calendar.
  • LLA argues voters’ rights require a ballot reflecting the real slate, cites legal and technical precedents, and points to Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán’s statement that sufficient budget credits exist to cover the estimated ARS 12.169 billion cost.
  • Separately, the electoral prosecutor before the chamber, Ramiro González, supported keeping Diego Santilli off the top spot, confirming Karen Reichardt as the first candidate on LLA’s Buenos Aires list.
