The electoral system

The president of Argentina is elected by a distinctive two-round system: a candidate wins outright with more than 45% of the valid votes, or with more than 40% and a lead of at least ten points over the runner-up; otherwise the top two contest a run-off. The president serves a four-year term and may be re-elected once consecutively. Open, simultaneous and compulsory primaries (the PASO) had been held in August, and voting is compulsory for citizens aged 18 to 70.
