Topic: Elections in Argentina, 2005


  
  Elections in Argentina, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the purpose of these elections, each of the 23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires are considered electoral districts.
In most provinces, the national elections were conducted in parallel with local ones, whereby a number of municipalities elected legislative officials (concejales) and in some cases also a mayor (or the equivalent executive post).
In most cases, primary elections are optional and can be called for by the local political parties as needed; in Santa Fe, however, the primaries were universal and compulsory due to a recent law that repealed the much-criticized Ley de Lemas.

There was a substantial immigration from other Latin American countries during the 1990s from Bolivia, Paraguay and Chile number about estimated 2.000.000 and 4.000.000.
