**Correct procedures for publishing the results of the elections in Argentina**
The National Electoral Court (CNE) is responsible for ensuring that the legal provisions require the dissemination of data on the results of the voting, including the opening of ballot boxes (\"urn room\"), the counting of ballots or the tallying of votes until 21:00. This procedure is established in article 71 of the National Electoral Code, which provides for \"the opening of ballot boxes and the counting of votes cast during the voting hours and for three hours after its closure\".
**What happens to the ballot boxes?**
By law, the process of the vote count will begin on May 12, 2025, which will take place in the polling stations in the designated areas, in a process known as the \"urn room\". This data is formed by the records of the polling stations, where the consultants advise the candidates. One should note that such ballots do not contain personal characteristics and may contain sensitive information.
**Disclosure of data: critical time frames**
Under normal circumstances, the official preliminary results and data from consulting companies may be published only after 21:00. At this moment, the SMI and other authorities are required to submit an official report.
