Tucumán now has the complete calendar leading to the provincial election of May 9, 2027. After the formal call by the executive branch, the Provincial Electoral Board approved Resolution 11/2026 and distributed deadlines between November of this year and the final count. The document was approved by board president Daniel Leiva and members Edmundo Jesús Jiménez and Washington Héctor Navarro Dávila, with certification by secretary Edgardo Darío Almaraz.
The election will renew every political level covered by the provincial system. Tucumán voters will choose governor and lieutenant governor, principal and alternate provincial legislators, mayors, council members and communal commissioners. The calendar turns that simultaneous renewal into a sequence of obligations for parties, alliances, candidates, polling officials and electoral agencies before voting day.
The resolution is based on call decrees 1688/14 and 1718/14, issued in late July 2026 by the Ministry of Government and Justice, and on Laws 7876, 5454, 6450 and 9977. It also determines how the voter register will be formed: the national roll will be the basis, joined by registers of foreign residents and people prosecuted while in pretrial detention. Young people who turn 16 by election day will be added collectively.
The first deadline arrives November 10, 2026, when the general and foreign voter registers close and the period for parties to obtain recognition and legal-political status ends. In 2027, preliminary rolls will be displayed February 3. Fronts and alliances have until noon on March 1 to register, closed primaries must be held by March 10, and final rolls will appear March 18. Challenges close March 29 at 8 p.m.
April will concentrate the definition of the electoral offer. Polling officials will be appointed on April 1, and on April 9 both the registration of approved candidate lists and the filing of party attachment agreements will close. Campaigning and media advertising begin that day, while inaugural ceremonies for public works become prohibited. Candidate objections may be filed until 8 p.m. on April 12 and must be decided by the same time on April 15.
Material organization will continue with ballot models due by April 19 and sample votes and ballot bundles by noon on April 27. Appointment of general party representatives before the Board ends May 4, and ballot boxes, supplies and materials will be sent May 6. Campaigning ends at 8 a.m. on May 7, when the ban on campaigning and publication of polls begins.
Voting takes place May 9, with polls and projections prohibited from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Two days later, at 6 p.m. on May 11, the deadline for complaints about polling-station operations ends and the final count begins. Before that stage, the next milestone is much closer: the November 10 register deadline, which will require parties and voters to enter the calendar the Board has just formalized.
