The National Electoral Justice confirmed this Thursday the calendar for this year's elections and ratified that the Simultaneous and Mandatory Open Primary elections (PASO) will be on Sunday,
August 13 and the general ones on October 22.
For the PASO, the electoral ban will begin, as usual, two days before the vote, on Friday, August 11, while the campaign closures for the general elections will be, at the latest, on Thursday, October 19 because the ban begins on 20 at 8 a.m.
The National Electoral Chamber also specified that the possible ballot if none of the candidates for President reaches 45% of the votes or 40% with a 10-point advantage over the second, will be held on Sunday, November
19
.
In addition, after the PASO and having defined the presidential candidates of each political force, two instances of mandatory debate will be held.
The first was set for Sunday, October 1, and the second will take place a week later, on Sunday, October 8.
Votes almost every month
In addition to the national elections, many provinces decided to split the elections and that is why there will be votes almost every month.
La Pampa stung in Punta, which held the primary elections on February 12
with a very low turnout of voters, since only Together for Change had to define candidacies.
