ARGENTINA: Gearing up for primary season
One month from now, on 12 April, the province of Salta will hold the first open, mandatory and simultaneous primaries (Paso) of the election season. Santa Fe and Mendoza will follow shortly after and on 26 April the city of Buenos Aires will hold primaries for the positions of mayor, deputy and city council. Last week, the election authorities announced the official closure of the period to register candidates for the city’s primary. The outcome of Buenos Aires’ mayoral election, due to be held in July this year, may help determine the general election results, by providing a boon to whichever party wins Argentina’s second-most important elected post.
