The Battle of Tucumán was a battle fought on 24 and 25 September 1812 near the Argentine city of San Miguel de Tucumán, during the Argentine War of Independence. The Army of the North, commanded by General Manuel Belgrano, defeated the royalist troops commanded by General Pío de Tristán, who had a two-to-one advantage in numbers, halting the royalist advance on Argentina's northwest. Together with the Battle of Salta, on 20 February 1813, the victory at Tucumán allowed the Argentine troops to reaffirm the borders under their control.

Sáenz Peña Law

An Argentine ballot box used in the 1916 election.

The Sáenz Peña Law (in Spanish, Ley Sáenz Peña) was Law 1887 of Argentina, sanctioned by the National Congress on 10 February 1912, which established the universal, secret and compulsory male suffrage though the creation of an electoral list (Padrón Electoral). It was approved during the presidency of Roque Sáenz Peña, main supporter of the law.

The right to vote for females was not covered by this law until 1947, during the first presidency of Juan Perón. The "universal" scope of the originality law included only native and naturalized men but not women and working class men who were non-citizen immigrants, a very significant portion of the population at the time (for example, only a minority of the population in Buenos Aires was Argentine).
