Uruguay held a pivotal election amid a backdrop of relative political calm, contrasting sharply with the polarization seen in other Latin American countries. The main contenders are center-left candidate Yamandu Orsi, continuity conservative Alvaro Delgado, and social media-savvy conservative Andres Ojeda, with polls indicating Orsi holds an edge but a run-off on November 24 is likely. Voters also faced two significant referendums regarding pension reforms and police powers to combat rising drug crime, reflecting growing concerns over security. Despite the competitive atmosphere, the candidates have maintained a civil tone throughout the campaign. Analysts note that there is broad consensus between the major parties on key issues, leaving many voters satisfied with the current government's policies. The election outcome could shape Uruguay's direction, especially concerning fiscal policy and security measures.
