| Description: | The followers of Juan Peron, ousted Argentinean dictator, put up a poor showing as the country goes to the polls to elect a President just 15 months after the military ousted President Arturo Frondizi. Although he fled the country 8 years ago, Peron still has his adherents and he advised them to cast blank ballots. Only 15% are thus cast - against 1/3 just a few years ago. Dr. Arturo Illia polls the most votes and will probably become President. Argentinia Buildings and street with little traffic. MCUS - Stores closed with gates pulled down. MCUS - People queue in line to cast their votes. MCUS - Argentinean soldiers directing people. CUS - Little nun casting her vote, woman casting her vote. CUS - Hand holding a voting card, dropping it into the voting box. CUS - Voting ballots being spilled out from the voting box. MCUS - Officials counting the votes that were caste. MS - Argentinean political building. | |
