Argentina 2027: Runoff likely in 7 of 8 electoral scenarios, PASO suspension debated
Perfil·AR·3 days ago
A Fundación Éforo report comparing Argentina's 2025 and 2021 legislative elections finds that eliminating the PASO primaries reduced total electoral spending by only 3%, far less than the government's claimed savings. The report attributes the modest reduction to Correo Argentino's logistics costs, which absorbed much of the savings, challenging the government's fiscal narrative.
The elimination of Argentina's PASO primaries is confirmed to have reduced electoral spending by only 3%, significantly less than government claims, primarily due to high logistics costs. Legislative passage of the reform remains uncertain, with Senate debate postponed and key votes from UCR and Pro senators pending political agreement.
