The electoral rules established for this election did not require for a second round of voting (which would be implemented by the 1996 Constitution of Buenos Aires, currently in place). Incumbent mayor Jorge Domínguez sought to continue in office but received only 18% of the vote.https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/de-la-rua-en-toda-la-capital-nid171737/ La Nación De la Rúa en toda la Capital Guadalupe Graciela 1 July 1996 26 March 2025 eshttps://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?pid=S0719-36962021000200140&script=sci_arttext Ser Jefe de Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: la jerarquización de un cargo político y su impacto en la Argentina reciente Being "Jefe de Gobierno" of the City of Buenos Aires: The Empowerment of A Political Post and Its Impact in Recent-Time Argentina Landau Matías December 2021 0719-3696 Pléyade (Santiago) 28 10.4067/S0719-36962021000200140 International Institute for Philosophy and Social Studies es free The legislative election resulted in a Constitutional Assembly controlled by the FREPASO, an alliance of centre-left and left-wing parties. Background Ever since the federalization of Buenos Aires in 1880, during the government of President Nicolás Avellaneda, the city of Buenos Aires – federal capital of Argentina – became a separate entity from Buenos Aires Province, operating as a non-autonomous city directly dependent on the government of Argentina. The Mayor of Buenos Aires (es intendente) was from that point on appointed directly by the President of Argentina, while the city's Deliberative Council (es Concejo Deliberante) served as the only democratically-elected local authority.https://www.lanacion.com.ar/opinion/la-autonomia-de-la-ciudad-un-proceso-en-demorada-construccion-nid30112023/ La Nación La autonomía de la ciudad, un proceso en demorada construcción Astarloa Gabriel M. 30 November 2023 1 April 2025 es In the 1990s during the presidency of Carlos Menem, calls for Buenos Aires to become politically autonomous grew, and the issue was one of the main points of the 1993 Pact of Olivos, which led to the 1994 amendment of the Constitution of Argentina.https://www.lavoz.com.ar/politica/pacto-de-olivos-ultimo-gran-acuerdo/ La Voz del Interior Pacto de Olivos, ¿el último gran acuerdo?
