2019 Uruguayan presidential primaries

Presidential primary elections were held in Uruguay on 30 June 2019 in order to nominate the presidential candidate for every political party.

Background
The Broad Front is the party of incumbent president Tabaré Vázquez, which was unable to seek reelection due to constitutional term limits, so it had to pick a new presidential nominee. This primary was also considered a generation change of the Broad Front, due to the lack of presence of historically dominant names such as Tabaré Vázquez, José Mujica and Danilo Astori.

Results
During non-mandatory primary voting on June 30, 2019 Daniel Martinez, the former Intendant of Montevideo, won his party's endorsement.

 * Senator Jorge Larrañaga
 * Intendant of Maldonado Enrique Antía
 * Businessman Juan Sartori

 * Deputy Representative Carlos Iafigliola

During non-mandatory primary voting on June 30, 2019 Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou, the son of the former President of Uruguay Luis Alberto Lacalle, won his party's endorsement. Multimillionaire, Juan Sartori, came in a distant second place.
