Overview
- Argentina votes Sunday to renew 127 deputies and 24 senators in a contest widely seen as President Javier Milei’s first major midterm test.
- Electoral authorities ordered provisional returns to be reported by province rather than as a single national tally, and the government says it will comply.
- Surveys show a tight national race while Fuerza Patria holds an edge in Buenos Aires province; a mid-October Proyección Consultores poll put FP at 42.3% to LLA’s 31.5%.
- La Libertad Avanza is prioritizing seat gains over raw vote share, with Milei saying he seeks a result that secures roughly one-third of the Chamber to protect veto power.
- The campaign’s final push has shifted to Córdoba and Santa Fe, with Milei staging events there and, according to local reports, scaling back appearances in Buenos Aires; government insiders and media reports also describe post-election cabinet changes under consideration.
