ARGENTINA: Tucumán casts shadow over October elections
Allegations of ballot-box burning, shortages of ballot papers and other electoral malpractices resulted in the annulment of Tucumán’s gubernatorial elections by a provincial court on 16 September. A few days later, however, the province’s supreme court overruled the decision, declaring the results from the election on 23 August to be valid, thus handing the victory to Juan Manzur, the candidate for the federally ruling Frente para la Victoria (FPV). José Cano, the losing candidate, decided against appealing the decision at the national supreme court. But the row over the Tucumán results has led directly to Argentina’s electoral court outlining new measures to ensure confidence in the general elections next month.
