Fernando Espinoza returned to govern the district in 2019. He took office with a band and a cane in the presence of Cristina Kirchner.
Not only is it the record of voters for a municipality, but this year the medal for the number of ballots is hung in Greater Buenos Aires.
When PASO debuted in 2011, 22 lists were featured;
in 2013, there were 17;
in the 2015 elections, 17;
four years ago 24 lists and in the last election only 12.
In La Matanza there will be inmates in the "Humanist Party", in "Unión Celeste y Blanco", three lists of "Vamos con vos" by Florencio Randazzo;
two of "Avanza Libertad" by José Luis Espert;
two from the Left Front, three from Juntos;
and another internal from the Patriot Front.
Some of the candidates who draw attention are the former Big Brother and Singing, Brian Lanzelotta, who heads the list of the Federal Party;
or the former deputy Héctor "Toty" Flores, on one of the Juntos lists.

The podium is completed by José C. Paz, the only suburban district governed by the Frente de Todos where there will be inmates in that space
, at the request of the historic mayor Mario Ishii, who believes that "it helps the space" that there are multiple lists because " all militate to win. "
There will be 24 lists, three from the ruling party, where the one that has the support of the communal chief is the one headed by Roque Caggiano, the candidate who campaigns with the music of the singer L-Gante.
There will be two lists from FIT, two from randazzismo (Let's go with you), and two from Espert.
In the southern zone, Quilmes will have 22 lists of 17 political parties.
It is still below the Quilmeño record of the debut years of the PASO, when in 2011 26 candidates for mayor were presented.
On the contrary, in the southern zone the municipalities that will have the least pre-candidates will be: Lomas de Zamora -the second in the GBA in number of voters with 500,039-, Avellaneda and Berazategui.
In the three municipalities there will be 20 ballots.
In Lomas, there will only be internships in Juntos, the FIT and three lists of Vamos con vos, by Randazzo.
In Avellaneda, two others from Randazzismo, two from Espert, two from the Left, two from Juntos and another two from the Federal Party;
while in Berazategui, there will be two from "Unión Celeste y Blanco", two from FIT, and two from "Juntos".

while in San Fernando, in addition to the FIT, the other intern will be the randazzismo, the rest of the forces will go with a single ballot.
In Morón, within the 19 annotated lists, Espert's strength presents two.
One headed by
Néstor Zárate, lawyer and brother of former footballers
Sergio "El Ratón", Ariel "Chino" and Mauro Zárate, who until recently played for Boca Juniors.
Zárate had already been a pre-candidate for mayor in 2019, in one of the three lists of Roberto Lavagna's "Federal Consensus".
In Morón, one of José Luis Espert's two lists, it is headed by Néstor Zárate, older brother of soccer player Mauro Zárate.
Neighbors and complaints about the lowering of lists
In this election, few neighborhood parties were registered within the suburbs, but they are still significant.
One of the most important cases is that of the Neighborhood Meeting in Action (EVA), a stamp that the former Peronist mayor of Moreno, Walter Festa, acquired to compete.
He knew that they would not give him the PASS against the mayor Mariel Fernández, against whom he lost in the 2019 Primary. Now the deputy of the Frente de Todos, Romina Uhrig, wife of Festa, will head the neighborhood list as the first candidate for councilor, among the 23 lists that will be in Moreno.
Romina Uhrig, partner of the former mayor of Moreno, Walter Festa, is running for councilor for a neighborhood party.
The one who was left without Primary, and even without a short ballot, was the controversial former baron of the suburbs, Raúl "El Vasco" Othacehé, -who will soon be released in a fiction- who had already complained that the Frente de Todos seemed a Soviet party, because they did not let him compete.
Besides Moreno, another neighborhood is that of "Together for Hurlingham", also in the west of Buenos Aires;
"Let's Sumemos Pilar", in the north of the GBA;
and the already historic one with representation in the Deliberative Council "With Civic Vocation for San Isidro", which will have two of the 21 lists that are presented in the district.
One will be "Cut to stagnation" and the other "Rethinking San Isidro."
The lists that compete at the provincial level
In the First Electoral Section, which covers the municipalities of the north and west of the suburbs, it also adds some districts of the interior and elects eight provincial senators, of the 23 that are renewed in the Upper Chamber of Buenos Aires.
In total, it groups 24 municipalities: Merlo, Malvinas Argentinas, Moreno, Tigre, Tres de Febrero, San Martín, Morón, Campana, Escobar, Hurlingham, Ituzaingó, José C. Paz, Pilar, San Fernando, San Isidro, San Miguel and Vicente Lopez.
And also General Las Heras, General Rodríguez, Luján, Marcos Paz, Mercedes, Navarro and Suipacha.

Among the 22 lists of 18 political parties that present with candidates for provincial senators, there will only be inmates in "Juntos", which on Santilli's side the ballot is headed by Cristian Gribaudo and on the side of Manes, Joaquín De la Torre.
Another will be between two lists of the Left Front, between the railroad Rubén "Pollo" Sobrero and Sandra Lucero.
And the "Social Vocation" party also presented two lists and one more internal one in the "Federal Party."
18 benches up for grabs in the Third Section
In turn, in the southern suburban districts, plus La Matanza and some in the interior, which total 19 municipalities, they must elect 18 of the 46 seats of provincial deputies that are put into play and 23 lists of 18 political parties.
The Third Electoral Section covers the municipalities of La Matanza, Lomas de Zamora, Quilmes, Almirante Brown, Avellaneda, Berazategui, Esteban Echeverría, Ezeiza, Florencio Varela and Lanús, in the GBA.
Martiniano Molina will be the first candidate for provincial deputy of Diego Santilli.
And inside: Presidente Perón, Punta Indio, San Vicente, Berisso, Brandsen, Cañuelas, Ensenada Magdalena, and Lobos.
Most are governed by Peronism with the exception of Lanús, Brandsen, Lobos and Magdalena.
The main intern among the four games that are going to intern will be Juntos.
A ballot will be headed by the chef and former mayor of Quilmes, Martiniano Molina, and that of Manes, represented by the radical Pablo Domenechini, rector of the Guillermo Brown National University (UNAB) and a reference for Martín Lousteau, with the journalist Walter Queijeiro in the third place on the list.
In La Matanza we also need #DarElPaso.
