Argentina has a score of 80 out of 100, with 100 representing the least vulnerability in terms of election integrity, on Freedom House’s Election Vulnerability Index, which is based on a selection of key election-related indicators. The score reflects competitive elections and robust civil society, though judicial corruption and violence from police and drug-related criminal organizations persist. Some laws assign harsh penalties for online activities, but they are rarely used, and users can generally access online content without legal or extralegal consequence; cyberattacks during recent elections and a trend of disproportionate content removals from civil lawsuits threaten the digital sphere. The country is rated Free in Freedom in the World 2021, with a score of 84 out of 100 with respect to its political rights and civil liberties and Free in Freedom on the Net 2020, with an internet freedom score of 71 out of 100.
