On Sunday, millions of Argentinians will head to the polls to vote in their primary elections, better known as PASO. This means that a veda electoral (electoral ban) will be in effect for a period of 36 hours, until voting stations close at 6 p.m. that evening. These restrictions may seem moralistic to the uninitiated, but the veda isn’t limited to wine and spirits. This weekend, all sporting events, theatrical productions, and open-air shows will be suspended, along with any other public gatherings unrelated to the elections. News outlets cannot publish or disseminate electoral polls and projections about the results of the elections before their completion.
