Election day tomorrow in Argentina

voting in argentina, btw, is mandatory for all those over 18...
Voters will elect representatives for half of the Argentine lower Chamber of Deputies and a third of the Senate. [...] Campaigning ended on Friday, and no more rallies or polls are allowed before voting day.

the elections have also provided a bit of good news for yours truly although not for argentines converting to u.s. dollars...
Pre-election jitters yesterday weakened the peso, which closed at three to the US dollar, a level last seen in December 2004. Apart from local conditions, traders said that investors retreating from emerging markets also had an impact on the local foreign exchange market.
