Frigerio stated that an independent judiciary necessitates a “professional, transparent selection process based on merit.” He noted the Council’s role in managing competitions and preparing candidate shortlists for judicial positions. The Governor also referenced recent reforms to the Council’s law intended to improve functionality, accelerate selection processes, and address judicial vacancies through clearer evaluation rules. At the national level in Argentina, the Association of Magistrates and Federal Officials held elections for representatives to the National Council of the Magistrature for the 2026-2030 term. The election results indicated a shift in power; the officialist Lista Bordó secured one seat, while the Celeste lists—associated with Peronism and Kirchnerism—and the Compromiso Judicial list also obtained representation. Recent reports confirm these internal elections involved a tight race between the officialist Lista Bordó and various Peronist-aligned groups to determine the composition of the Council for the upcoming term. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-08: Judicial selection processes advance in Dominican Republic, Philippines, and Argentina Judicial selection processes are advancing in the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, and Argentina, involving public interviews and elections for Supreme Court and Council vacancies. 22 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rogelio-frigerio-swears-in-new-entre-ros-council-of-the-magistracy ### 2026-09-17: Sebastián Ruiz sworn in as federal judge in Comodoro Rivadavia Sebastián Pedro Ruiz has been sworn in as a new federal judge in Comodoro Rivadavia, pledging to improve judicial efficiency and teamwork within the regional federal justice system. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sebastin-ruiz-sworn-in-as-federal-judge-in-comodoro-rivadavia --- Cite as: Judicial administration developments in Argentina.
