**General information on election results in Mendoza** In Mendoza, the right-wing blocs of Governor Alfredo Cornejo and the political movement La Libertad Avanza (LLA) won the most votes in the first round. According to official data, the union secured 45% of the votes, which allowed it to advance to a runoff with President Javier Milei (Together for Change). The participation rate reached 71.5%, which is higher than the national average (66%), but close to the historical average for the region.
**Details of the results** According to the data from the Mendoza Electoral Chamber, LLA initiated the "Save Mendoza" process to challenge the victory of Luis Petri. This platform allowed the block to support the candidates in 20 key points. In LLA's view, the absence of a clear majority supported three of the five mandates in the provincial parliament. The candidates were elected, with the Frente de Todos getting a slightly lower rating.
**Participation and comparison with previous years** It is noted that the final level of participation in Mendoza was 73%, according to the Electoral Chamber. This figure shows the stability of the electoral participation rate in the region. "71.5% - the data, even close to previous elections. In 2021, at this stage, the result was 72%, and the final one was 74.19%," - commented Dalmiro Garay, president of the Superior Court of Mendoza. The expert noted that the current figures correspond to the historical trends of the region, not to a general increase in interest due to the national election with a national average.
