Political campaigning is on halt in Argentina

Buenos Aires, Nov 17 (Prensa Latina) The political campaigning is on halt in all of Argentina 48 hours before the run-off to presidential election.

Propaganda campaigns, surveys publication and dissemination, and parties near the polling stations are strictly forbidden from 08:00 hours, local time, this Friday to 21:00 hours, local time on November 19.

Voters’ meetings, shows, sports activities, and selling alcoholic beverages are also banned.

Carrying weapons and using flags, badges, or others are also punished.

Over 35 million Argentinian citizens will vote on Sunday to elect the nation’s president and vice president.

The Unión por la Patria (Union for the Homeland, UP) alliance with Sergio Massa and Agustín Rossi and La Libertad Avanza (Liberty Advances-LLA party) with Javier Milei and Victoria Villarruel, were the two most-voted presidential formulas on October 22.

To win elections, a party or alliance should receive more than 45 percent of the votes or 40 with a difference of at least ten points compared to the second with the highest support, which did not happen that day.
