Argentina is voting for a new president on Sunday after four years of Alberto Fernández’s administration. In Argentina’s presidential elections, candidates need more than 45% of the votes, or at least 40% with a 10-point lead, to be elected in the first round. If none of this happens, the two most-voted candidates will go to a run-off on November 19. The rules of the eventual run-off are not the same as the general elections: candidates don’t have to reach a certain percentage of votes. Although both JxC candidates combined got more votes than UxP, Massa was the second most-voted individual candidate, surpassing Bullrich by one million votes.
