Presidential Debates In Argentina
The first Presidential debate in Argentina took place during the 2015 presidential elections. There were proposals for doing so in the previous elections, but were refused by the candidates that were ahead in the polls. A controversial case took place in 1989, when Carlos Menem refused at the last moment to attend the debate with Eduardo Angeloz set by Bernardo Neustadt at the TV program '' Tiempo Nuevo''. The production then held a "debate" between Angeloz and an empty chair. Initially, the six candidates agreed to take part in the debate. Daniel Scioli, who was ahead in the polls, refused to attend it, so the debate was held instead between the other five candidates that passed the primary elections: Mauricio Macri, Sergio Massa, Margarita Stolbizer, Nicolás del Caño and Adolfo Rodríguez Saá. It was organized by the NGO "Argentina debate". The general election ended with a very slight victory of Scioli over Macri, and both of them would have a runoff election. In this oppor ...

Leaders' Debates
A leaders' debate or presidential debate is a public debate held during a general election campaign, where the candidates expose their political opinions and public policy proposals, and criticism of them, to potential voters. They are normally broadcast live on radio, television and Internet. The events may be organized by media corporations or non-government organizations. Leaders' debates are often popular with voters, whose decisions might be greatly influenced by the outcome. Leaders have occasionally attempted to use props (such as charts or signs bearing slogans) during a debate with varying degrees of success.

The success of early televised debates such as the 1960 American presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, viewed by 70 million people, would eventually spur the desire to hold similar, televised debates in countries under the pa ...

Ballotage In Argentina
In Argentina, presidential elections are conducted under the ballotage system. This system was added by the 1994 amendment to the Constitution of Argentina, as part of the negotiations between former president Raúl Alfonsín and president Carlos Menem. Most countries with a two-round system require a candidate to win at least 50 percent of the vote to win the presidency in a single round. In these cases, if no candidate reaches that threshold, a runoff is held between the top two candidates in the first round. In Argentina a candidate can win a first-round victory with at least 45 percent of the vote, or with at least 40 percent of the vote and at least 10 percentage points more than the runner-up. Lower-level Argentine districts, such as the city of Buenos Aires, use the conventional two-round voting system. Since the amended constitution took effect, only two elections had a result that required a ballotage. In the 2003 elections, Menem took 24.45% of the vote to 22.24% for ...
