Argentines are heading off to the surveys to pick their next president in a general decision that closures 12 years of tenet under the Kirchners.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has served two successive terms and, under Argentina's constitution, can't run once more.

Her hand-picked successor, left-winger Daniel Scioli, is driving surveys.

Be that as it may, he is required to face firm rivalry from Mauricio Macri, the inside right chairman of Buenos Aires.

Another hopeful, Sergio Massa, a previous Kirchner associate, is surveying behind Mr Macri, while there are three different names on the vote paper.
