About this election
The electoral system
The president is elected by the Argentine two-round rule: outright victory requires more than 45% of the valid vote, or more than 40% with a ten-point lead over the runner-up. The compulsory PASO primaries in August 2019 had already delivered a shock — Fernández beat Macri by some sixteen points — triggering a run on the peso and signalling the likely result months in advance. Voting is compulsory.
