Political reform in Argentina’s provinces, which began in 1987 with the modifications made to the provincial constitutions, incorporated the possibility of governors’ re-election. Such a phenomenon affected the main philosophy of Republican origin that upheld the benefits of rotations in power, generating differences between the different provincial political systems in the region. In such a framework, the work aims to compare the impact of the incorporation of the types of re-election for the posts of governor and vice-governor in the provincial political systems of Chaco, Formosa, and Misiones. The results reveal a series of findings to have prompted theoretical reflections. The main finding is that the effective number of people elected to the post of governor in the nine elections held in the three provinces rose to 16 in a period which would have had 27 without re-elections, and that the competition turned bipartisan in accessing the posts.
