TL;DR Summary

Argentines are voting in a presidential election, with far-right populist leader Javier Milei leading the race amid anger towards traditional political parties for their failure to fix the country's struggling economy. Milei, a libertarian outsider, has gained support by advocating for radical policy changes, including eliminating the central bank, adopting the US dollar, and cutting public spending. His main rivals are Patricia Bullrich and Sergio Massa. To win, a candidate must secure 45% of the vote or 40% with a 10-point lead. If no candidate achieves this, a second round of voting will be held in November.
