As of December 2023, nine women have served as governor of an Argentine province. Only seven (out of 23) of the country's provinces have been governed by women.
Following the 2023 provincial elections, for the first time since the first woman was elected to a provincial governorship in 2007, no women are presently serving as head of a provincial executive in Argentina.
In all of the provinces, the governor is seconded by a vice governor (vicegobernador or vicegobernadora), while in the City of Buenos Aires, the Chief of Government is seconded by a Deputy Chief who fulfills the same role. The vice governor is first in line should the governor be incapacitated, removed from office or die, and they typically preside over the provincial legislature (or the upper chamber thereof, in case of bicameral legislatures).
Five provinces (Corrientes, Formosa, Salta, San Juan and Tucumán) are yet to count with an elected female governor or vice governor.
