Argentina’s presidential election is shaping up for October 24, 2027
Under current regulations, the national general elections must be held on the fourth Sunday of October. That day will also see congressional seats renewed and other local offices elected.
Under current electoral law, Argentina’s presidential election should be held on Sunday, October 24, 2027, since the rule sets the national general elections for the fourth Sunday of October immediately preceding the end of the terms.
According to La Nación, the National Electoral Code also establishes that the call must be made at least 90 days in advance and must include the election date, the electoral district, the class and number of offices to be filled, the number of candidates each voter may vote for, and the applicable electoral system.
In 2027, the Presidency and Vice Presidency will be at stake, along with 130 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 24 in the Senate. Added to that will be the election of the head of government of Buenos Aires, governors in 21 provinces, mayors and other local authorities.
La Nación added that the ruling party is promoting a reform to eliminate the PASO. To move forward with that change, it needs an absolute majority in Congress. In the Senate, that equals 37 affirmative votes. Still according to that outlet, the ruling party currently has 21 aligned lawmakers, so it would need to add 16 votes from other blocs.
To check the polling place, the National Electoral Chamber provides access to the definitive voter roll, where voters can enter their DNI, gender, district and a validation code to find out the polling station, table number and order number.
The presidential outcome could be decided in the first round or in a runoff. The National Constitution states that a ticket wins outright if it reaches 45 percent of the vote, or at least 40 percent with a lead of more than 10 points over the runner-up. If that does not happen, a second round is held between the two most-voted candidates.
