BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine teenager Tomas Kremenchuzky is getting ready to vote in his first ever presidential election on Oct. 22, the most open and uncertain race in his lifetime, where the frontrunner candidate is threatening to upend the country's economic model.

Argentina is one of a handful of Latin American countries that allows 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote. Kremenchuzky, nicknamed "Toto," 17, is part of that teenage electorate.
