Argentina's Election 2023 calendar – what comes next?

Campaigning, electoral rolls, political propaganda and curfews…. What’s still to come in the next few weeks before the PASO primaries on August 13.

After the closure of party lists and the resulting confirmation of presidential tickets, the electoral calendar will continue to unfold in the campaign season up to the PASO primaries on August 13.

The timetable published by the National Electoral Court (Acordada Extraordinaria Nº 35) has established, among other issues, the dates of the primary and general elections when the electoral rolls and the duration of the campaign can be consulted. 

The dates of the obligatory presidential debates have been set for October 1 and 8 with a third debate on November 12 should a run-off make it necessary.

Apart from the closure of lists, last Saturday also marked the start of the electoral campaign – expect candidate statements, accusations and declarations across  social networks, media outlets and on posters and graffiti as the hopefuls try to attract voters.
