7. Unresolved issues and sources

Upcoming ordinary cohort provisionally registered. Councils and both provincial chambers renew partially; 2025 and the six February 2026 council ballots must precede the 2023 history. Current government and any later special calls require checking. Missing older local results in several provincial datasets, full seat proclamations, intervened/replacement contests and dated coalition control. Many municipalities vote separately from provincial election day. Final 2027 calls remain subject to official publication. Ten Catamarca 2023 local returns now have primary provisional counts; final certification and older cycles are still missing. DINE 2015 download has no Catamarca local records. Entre Ríos final national consultation warns that foreign-voter tables are excluded. Neuquén final-file links returned access-denied responses; several older links point to private or defunct hosts.
