- Sunday, Buenos Aires province goes to the polls in a contest that could redefine President Javier Milei's grip on power as the first major test of his leadership since December 2023.
- A corruption scandal involving leaked audios alleging kickbacks tied to Karina Milei has shaken La Libertad Avanza's momentum, while austerity measures have worsened conditions despite inflation falling from 118% to 22%.
- Half the provincial legislature is being contested, with 46 lower house seats and 23 Senate seats up for renewal; voters cast ballots at 1,934 polling stations with a 6pm cut-off.
- A strong LLA result could accelerate President Javier Milei's privatization and dollarization agenda, while a Peronist loss by more than five points would spark volatility, and a narrow opposition win within two points could preserve Milei's path to national midterms.
- International observers see the vote as Argentina's political barometer, with Governor Axel Kicillof stressing voter absenteeism could hand Milei a decisive victory.
