Overview

• The Interior Ministry and Correo Argentino told the provincial electoral board that a full reprint would cost ARS 12.169 billion for about 14.49 million Boleta Única de Papel sheets.
• Officials said the job can proceed under existing contracts without a new tender, using six active plants that can produce roughly 3.3 million ballots per lot.
• Technical timelines estimate about five business days per printing batch, with operations ready to begin once the board approves the final design.
• The board has not decided whether to order the reprint as deadlines tighten ahead of the October 26 legislative elections.
• The dispute follows Judge Alejo Ramos Padilla’s ruling rejecting LLA’s attempt to replace its list head with Diego Santilli, leaving printed ballots showing earlier candidate images in question.
