La Derecha Diario LIVE 2025 Legislative Elections: RESULTS from Chaco, San Luis, Salta, and Jujuy
The peculiarity of these elections is that each province has its own voting method in the elections
This Sunday, May 11, San Luis, Chaco, Jujuy, and Salta will hold their legislative elections, kicking off the 2025 electoral calendar in Argentina for the renewal of provincial chambers. Unlike the recent PASO in Santa Fe, this day will exclusively vote for provincial deputies and senators, without including constituent positions.
One of the most striking aspects of the day will be the variety of voting methods used in each province:
Chaco and Jujuy will retain the traditional paper party ballot system, which keeps the most classic scheme and is also criticized for its potential manipulation through ballot theft.
Meanwhile, in Salta electronic voting will continue.
San Luis, on the other hand, will be the protagonist of a historic novelty: it will debut the Single Paper Ballot (BUP), becoming the first Argentine province to implement it following its approval at the national level for the October 26 elections.

THE KIRCHNERIST AND INDICTED FORMER GOVERNOR JORGE CAPITANICH VOTED
The Kirchnerist former governor Jorge Capitanich, indicted for cases related to the embezzlement of public funds, returned to the polls this Sunday. This time as a candidate for provincial deputy for Chaco, attempting to regain prominence amid his questioned judicial and political history.
Capitanich voted early at Table 18 of School No. 41 "Ricardo Ivancovich" in Resistencia and took the opportunity to launch a critique of the current provincial government. Although conveniently forgetting that he himself was responsible for much of the institutional and economic deterioration the province suffers today.
"People have to choose between eating or paying for electricity," he declared without self-criticism. His statement attempts to capitalize on the social unrest caused in part by years of poor management under his own mandate.
In his speech, he also mentioned the effects of the weather and rains in vulnerable areas like Fortín Belgrano and Fuerte Esperanza, in El Impenetrable, and demanded that the right to vote be guaranteed. However, he avoided referring to the deep structural deficiencies his government left in those same regions, where basic needs continue to be the norm.
