Alejo Ramos Padilla was the first in a contest to cover an electoral tribunal in Buenos Aires

It was the first time in the order of merit approved Thursday by the selection commission of the body that was to award this court an electoral jurisdiction. It is strategic because it is the one that must avoid electoral conflicts in the main district of the country, in the next elections, from the presentation of the lists to the challenges, by way of the financing of the parties, until the questioning election results. It has been vacant since the death of Manuel Blanco in 2009.

Ramos Padilla earned 183.50 points overall, including 94 points out of 100, and 89.50 extra points. Second, it was located Domingo Esteban Montanaro, attorney general of the Nation, Javier Fernandez, who earned 87 points in the written opposition and 169 in total. Third in the merit list, figure Roberto Boico, Cristina Kirchner's lawyer in the cause of the memorandum with Iran, with 85 points obtained in the examination and 166,20 points in total.

They are followed by Diego Isasa (158 points); Jorge Di Lorenzo (157.75 points); Andrés Salazar Lea Plaza (152.85); Laureano Durán (148 points); Matías Latino (147.75) and Juan Martín Nogueira (147 points).

The 9 were convened for a personal interview on March 25 at 9am.as resolved today by the Board Selection Committee, chaired by Juan Manuel Culotta, Councilor representing the Judges

The written examination of this competition took place on August 22, 2018 and the examination panel was integrated by Judges Daniel Rafecas, Alejandro Osvaldo Tazza, Edmundo Barbará and Mario Antonio Roque Midón.

Although the order of merit is an important indicator of how the three members of the Council will eventually be elected to the National Executive will be obtained, it is not determinative, as it is common to change Order of the candidates after the personal interview.

The Federal Court No. 1 with electoral jurisdiction has not been filled since the death of Blanco in September 2009. Kirchnerism promoted Durán as a subrogated in 2015, but his permanence has not prospered. The accusation was temporarily occupied by Federal Judge María Serviniduring an election contest in the capital, until December 2016, when he resigned irreversibly, after accusing the ruling party of wanting to "tighten up" with the position of his son, Juan Cubría, in exchange for his abandonment of subrogance.

He was replaced by the judge of La Plata Adolfo Ziulu, until he finished his subrogance on March 31, 2017. In April of that year, the federal judge of Tres de Febrero Culotta was subrogated, who obtained the approval macrismo. This magistrate, a member of the Judicial Council for the list of judges' judicial commitments, returned to his district when subrogance ended in November of the same year and the last legislative elections were finalized.

From that date, the court is subrogated to Ziulu, who is probably in charge of the next elections, depending on the time taken by this fight and the final coverage of the post.
