In this sense, the Secretary General of the Presidency, Julio Vitobello, asked for “patience” in an appearance after the closure of the schools, saying that “there will be districts where the counting of votes will be slower”, as the province of Buenos Aires, the most populous province in the country and with a weight of 37% on the electoral roll, and the capital, the fourth district in electoral weight in the country.
The preliminary check has no legal validity, it is only for information to the citizenry; the latest investigation begins 48 hours after the end of the election.
About 35.4 million Argentines were called to vote to determine the lists of candidates who will be able to participate in the general election on October 22, when the president and vice president will be elected, 130 of the 257 seats in the Chamber of Deputies will become 24 of the 72 seats in the Senate and 43 Argentine representatives will be elected to the Mercosur Parliament (Parlasur, the legislative body of the bloc comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay).
For next Sunday’s elections, 17,432 schools and other locations across the country had been set up, with a total of 108,107 polling stations.
