This Sunday, November 19, the 2023 runoff will take place, in which Sergio Massa (Unión por la Patria) and Javier Milei (La Libertad Avanza) will compete for the Presidency of Argentina. In this context, the question arises: What happens if the result of the provisional scrutiny gives a technical tie.

There may be the possibility of a technical tie, but for that to happen it must there be less than 400 thousand votes difference between Sergio Massa and Javier Milei in the provisional scrutiny.

In a situation of this type, one should wait for the result of the final scrutiny. This is carried out by the Electoral Justice within 48 hours following the elections and can take from a week to ten days.

The provisional scrutiny is the one that is carried out on the same day of the election, with the results reported by each table president to the Ministry of the Interior, through a telegram. It has no legal validity and does not serve to proclaim the representatives as elected.s, but rather it is one more piece of information that is used to inform citizens.

The final scrutiny is carried out through the Scrutiny Minutes of each table. Unlike the provisional scrutiny, The definitive one is the one that has legal validity and covers all the tables enabled for the election.


What is the final scrutiny and when does it begin?


It is the one that has legal validity, it is carried out by the National Electoral Justice (a Court belonging to the Judicial Branch of the Nation) and begins 48 hours following the end of the elections.

In this instance, the 2 remaining documents are used: the scrutiny report and the scrutiny certificates.
