Electoral Authorities Rule on Midterm Results Release
Argentina's National Electoral Appeals Court (CNE) has unanimously decided that the results of the October 26 midterm elections must be released by district.
The ruling rejects the national government's bid to combine the results in a national count, which could have potentially produced a more favorable narrative for President Javier Milei's government.
The publication of the provisional count should respect the criterion of division by electoral district.
The decision was made by Judges Alberto Dalla Vía, Daniel Bejas, and Santiago Corcuera, and is in line with the court's rules that provisional counts should be done province by province.
