General elections will be held in Argentina on 27 October 2019, to elect the president of Argentina, members of the national congress and the governors of most provinces. Mauricio Macri is the sitting president, and may run for re-election.

Electoral system

In all national elections voting is compulsory for citizens between 18 and 70 years old and non-compulsory for those older than 70 and between 16 and 18.

President

The President is elected to a 4-year term in a two-round system, if no candidate secures at least 45% of the vote overall, or secures at least 40% of the vote and is 10 percentage points ahead of the second-place candidate in the first round, a second round is held 4 weeks later between the two candidates who received the most votes.
