Electors vote at
Question: Where can electors vote?
Answer(s):
a . At a specified polling station in the locality where they are registered at national elections
Comments: Voters may vote only at the polling station on whose list they appear. Exceptional cases are that of electoral prosecutors who may vote at the tables where they carry out their work, as long as they are in the section to which they belong. The same case occurs with the polling station authorities and their alternates, who can vote at the polling station where they exercise their functions even though it is not their responsibility to vote there. In addition, the legislation allows the vote of Argentines residing abroad.
