2019 Buenos Aires provincial election

Elections in the province of Buenos Aires were held on 27 October 2019, alongside national elections. On that day, elections were held to elect the governor, vice governor, provincial deputies, provincial senators and municipal offices.

The candidatures were defined in the open, simultaneous, and mandatory primaries (PASO), which took place on 11 August 2019. Lists that won at least 1.5% of the votes (including blanks) qualified to the general election.

The election resulted in the defeat of incumbent governor María Eugenia Vidal (PRO) to former finance minister and current national deputy Axel Kicillof. This accompanied the national trend, in which incumbent president Mauricio Macri lost to Alberto Fernández. Vidal is the first governor to seek re-election and lose, while Kicillof becomes the eighth governor (sixth peronist) since the return of democracy in 1983. It was the most polarized election since 1999, with the two most voted candidates summing 90.68% of the votes.
