1937 Argentine Presidential Election
The patriotic fraud5 September 1937 · The Infamous Decade
The 1931 elections (boycotted by the previous ruling party, the centrist Radical Civic Union) proved to be a precedent for the 1937 elections, called to replace outgoing President Agustín Justo.
Held under the Concordancia's 'patriotic fraud', with the Radicals banned or robbed at the count. Recorded here as a rigged contest.
