Overview
- President Javier Milei lauded the Boleta Única de Papel as a “productivity shock” and said it lowered the political risk he associates with kirchnerismo.
- The single-paper ballot was sanctioned in October 2024 and used nationally for the first time in the October 26 legislative elections, replacing party lists.
- Karina Milei is preparing a meeting with La Libertad Avanza leaders before year‑end to seek broader district adoption of the ballot format with an eye to 2027.
- La Libertad Avanza’s headcount has grown through post‑election incorporations such as Alejandro Bongiovanni and Verónica Razzini, with Lorena Petrovich expected to join, positioning the bloc at about 94 seats after December 10 following the December 3 swearing‑in.
- In the Senate, Patricia Bullrich will lead the libertarian bloc, while Gerardo Zamora formed the Frente Cívico por Santiago, reducing Fuerza Patria to 22 members as Peronism remains the largest force and La Libertad Avanza holds 20.
