About this election
The electoral system
The 257 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected by closed-list proportional representation (D'Hondt) in 24 constituencies — the 23 provinces plus the City of Buenos Aires — with a 3% district threshold. Only half the chamber is renewed every two years for four-year terms, so 130 seats were at stake in 2015. Seats are apportioned to districts by population, giving Buenos Aires Province and the City of Buenos Aires the largest delegations.
