La Derecha Diario Most of the candidates from Buenos Aires have already voted, except for Lospennato, who is registered in PBA.
The PRO candidate seeks to represent the residents of a city where she doesn't even have an address
In the context of the 2025 legislative elections in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the main candidates for a seat in the Legislature have already fulfilled their civic duty and cast their votes during the morning and midday of this Sunday.
Manuel Adorni, presidential spokesperson and first candidate of La Libertad Avanza, voted in the neighborhood of Parque Chacabuco, while former head of government Horacio Rodríguez Larreta did so in Recoleta, at the Faculty of Law. Leandro Santoro, the Kirchnerist leading the list for the "Es Ahora Buenos Aires" front, also went to the polls in the neighborhood of San Cristóbal.
The only major absentee among the main figures was Silvia Lospennato, candidate of PRO, who couldn't cast her vote in this Buenos Aires election. The reason is unusual: she doesn't have an address in the Capital, she has it in the Province of Buenos Aires.
This way, she must follow the development of the elections without being part of the voting in the circuit where she seeks to represent the residents. Lospennato seeks to legislate for Buenos Aires residents, but votes with Buenos Aires province residents.
The electoral day is proceeding normally in the 7,326 tables enabled throughout the City. According to the Electoral Management Institute, by 1 p.m., more than 20% of the register had already voted, which amounts to 3,040,212 voters (2,516,172 Argentinians and 524,040 eligible foreigners). In this election, 30 seats in the Buenos Aires Legislature are being renewed, which will define the balance of power for the next period.
Additionally, the electronic voting system is being implemented again, which according to the official body "functions normally" and doesn't require connection to the electrical network. Voter turnout is expected to be higher than in previous elections, and the atmosphere in the voting centers has been calm, with the presence of party authorities, prosecutors, and observers.
With almost all the protagonists already voting—and some waiting to be able to do so in the next election, if they change their address in time—Buenos Aires City defines its new local political map today.
