[1/4] Workers unload ballot boxes and voting material from a truck, ahead of the presidential election, at a school on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina October 21, 2023. The vote is a tight three-way race between frontrunner radical outsider Javier Milei, ruling Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa and center-right former security minister Patricia Bullrich, all offering starkly different visions for Argentina. Libertarian economist Milei is in pole position to win, though would likely face a second round. "It seems to me that it is time for change, to see how we can alter the reality of the country."
