1910 Argentine Presidential Election
1910 · The oligarchic republic
The ailing president Quintana's death in 1906 was the beginning of the end of Roca dominance of national politics and policy. Moderate opposition to the PAN had greatly eroded its majorities in Congress, the very day the president died, and within months, Bartolomé Mitre and Carlos Pellegrini were dead, as well.
An indirect electoral-college contest of the oligarchic republic: voting was public, participation tiny, and the outcome largely arranged by the ruling circle.
