translated from Spanish: How did the TV channels cover the close of the polls?

The National Electoral Code states that until 9/1 10 a.m. the media is not allowed to give ballot box figures. After 9pm they are authorized to do so without the need for the official data of the National Electoral Directorate to be published first.However, television channels at 6pm, time of the closing of elections throughout the country, adopted different lines to communicate the results. The TN channel was one of the few that bet to give the trends of the mouth of the urn at the national level, of the Province of Buenos Aires and of the City of Buenos Aires, but without official figures:

TN 18hs – National STEP

TN 18hs – STEP Province of Buenos Aires

TN 18hs – Buenos Aires City

C5N, for its part, did not publish any graphics showing any trend but Gustavo Sylvestre highlighted: “Great climate of euphoria in the bunker of the Front of All both nationally and in the Province of Buenos Aires. Until 9 pms you can’t give the mouth of the urn, and we’re going to be faithful to do that.”

Public Television merely reported the closure of the elections without giving further details of trends in any of the jurisdictions.
