General elections were held in Argentina on 27 April 2003. No presidential candidate received enough votes to win outright, but the scheduled runoff was cancelled when former president and first-round winner Carlos Menem pulled out just four days before the planned runoff on 18 May, handing the presidency to runner-up, Santa Cruz Province Governor Néstor Kirchner of the Front for Victory. Legislative elections were held on twelve dates, 27 April, 24 August, 31 August, 7 September, 14 September, 28 September, 5 October, 19 October, 26 October, 9 November, 16 November and 23 November. As of 2023, this marked the last time that both the president-elect and vice president-elect ticket were both men.
