Legislative elections were held in Argentina on 26October 2025. Nearly half of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies (127 of 257) and a third of the seats in the Senate (24 of 72) were contested.
The elections resulted in a decisive victory for incumbent president Javier Milei's party, with La Libertad Avanza (under a single ballot line with Republican Proposal and other smaller parties) winning 64 seats, totalling 95 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. The opposition Homeland Force won 47 seats for a total of 100 seats. The United Provinces, a newly formed coalition of regional and centrist politicians, decreased to a total of 21 seats, and the Workers' Left Front won 3 seats for a total of 4. Other smaller parties won the remaining 5. Turnout reached a record low in modern Argentine history, at 67.43%, despite compulsory voting.
Background These midterm elections were the first during the presidency of Javier Milei; his libertarian economic reform agenda was top of mind for many voters. The election took place in the aftermath of the 2025 elections in the 2025 Buenos Aires provincial election in which Homeland Force of Governor Axel Kicillof achieved a resounding victory in the province obtaining 47% of the vote compared to 33% of La Libertad Avanza. The results featured the Peronist alliance far over performing polls. As a result of the election, the Argentine Peso lost 5% against the dollar and Argentine stocks slid around 15%.
During a 14October White House meeting with Milei, US president Donald Trump conditioned a US$20billion currency swap (in which two governments agree to trade currencies at a fixed rate rather than on the open market) on the electoral success of Milei's party La Libertad Avanza in the election. Trump stated, "If [Milei] doesn't win, we're gone", and that "If [Milei] loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina." The next day, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters that an additional US$20billion in financial aid could be provided to Argentina through sovereign funds and investments from private banks. The deal was widely reported as a bailout that prevented Argentina from going into default. The Central Bank of Argentina announced the signature of the first US$20 billion currency swap agreement on 20 October.
Electoral system
The 2025 elections were the first in which the unified paper ballot (in , BUP) system was used, following a 2024 reform of the electoral law. It was also be the first time at the national level since the 2011 Argentine general election without Open, Mandatory and Simultaneous Primaries (PASO); the PASO primary election system was suspended ahead of the 2025 contest but was still legally in place.
Chamber of Deputies
The 257 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected by proportional representation in 24 multi-member constituencies based on the provinces (plus the City of Buenos Aires).
