Legislative elections
were held in
Argentina
on 22 October 2017
[1]
to elect half of the
Chamber of Deputies
and one third of the
Senate
. The result was a victory for the ruling
Cambiemos
alliance, being the most voted force in 13 of the 24 districts.
[2]
Background
[
edit
]
The elections took place during the presidency of
Mauricio Macri
whose
Cambiemos
coalition also governed the
City of Buenos Aires
and
Buenos Aires Province
. As Cambiemos was a new coalition with few noteworthy political figures, several members of the cabinet were asked to resign from their positions and run for
Congress
in their respective districts instead.
[3]
Peronist
factions were divided in two main groups; the
Citizen's Unity
, led by the former president
Cristina Kirchner
, led the parliamentary opposition to Macri's administration.
[4]
Another group was composed of politicians from the
Justicialist Party
and the
Renewal Front
.

Chamber of Deputies
[
edit

The 257 members of the
Chamber of Deputies
are elected by proportional representation in 24 multi-member constituencies based on the
provinces
(plus the
City of Buenos Aires
). Seats are allocated using the
d'Hondt method
with a 3% electoral threshold.
[6]
In this election, 127 of the 257 seats are up for renewal for a four-year term.
Senate
[
edit
]
The 72 members of the
Senate
are elected in the same 24 constituencies, with three seats in each. The party receiving the most votes in each constituency wins two seats, with the third seat awarded to the second-placed party.
[7]
The 2017 elections will see one-third of Senators renewed, with eight provinces electing three Senators; Buenos Aires, Formosa, Jujuy, La Rioja, Misiones, San Juan, San Luis and Santa Cruz.
