Among the main points, overturned the Lemas law and approved the implementation of the Single Paper Ballot (BUP)in the shadow of what will happen with the national elections, where the system will also have its baptism of fire.
Another important aspect is that there will be no Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primaries (PASO), nor its variant PAS, which at some point governed in San Luis. Parties that want to resolve their candidacies in internal elections must do so on their own, since they will not be financed by the provincial State.
In San Luis they will be renewed half of the local chambers of Senators and Representatives, the mandates of some mayors and commissioned mayors that expire on December 10, 2025 and also half of the deliberative councils.
Just days before, the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macrihad put an end to the speculations and, as Ámbito said, made the split of the elections in CABA official. It will also seek to suppress the STEP.
“Today we decided to split the legislative elections of the City of Buenos Aires and, jointly, we are going to send a project and call the legislature to extraordinary sessions to discuss the suspension of the PASO in CABA,” Macri announced at a press conference
In this way, the election of the Buenos Aires legislators and community members will be carried out in advance of the deputies and senators who will represent the City in Congress.
“We need legislators who discuss the City’s issues and not play to occupy a place on a list,” Macri concluded.

In addition to renewing provincial positions, the electorate must elect the constituents who will reform the Magna Carta, after the green light from the Legislature to the ruling party’s historic project.

Later, on June 29, there will be the general elections. Meanwhile, on February 2 the deadline for registering alliances will expire, while on the 7th of the same month the lists will be registered before the party meetings.

The possibility of eliminating the primaries is open, since the Government intends to move forward with its suppression in Congress. This will depend on various political agreements and the willingness of other political forces to discuss the issue in possible extraordinary sessions.
In the province of Buenos Airesthe possibility of splitting the elections is one of the open fronts in the governor Axel Kicillof and Kirchnerism, which seeks to be attached to the national ones. In La Plata they hope to see what happens with the PASO in the country to make their own decision.
