Developments: 2. Concerns have emerged regarding the integrity and security of Colombia’s 2027 regional elections. The Electoral Observation Mission (MOE) warned that reconstruction funds following an August 10 earthquake could be misappropriated to favor political campaigns, particularly in departments like Chocó, Valle del Cauca, and the Eje Cafetero. The MOE also identified high-risk corridors where violence from groups such as the ELN and FARC dissidents threatens the process, criticizing the national government for a lack of structured security policy. Following these warnings, the National Civil Registry officially established the electoral calendar, setting the election date for October 31, 2027. National Registrar Hernán Penagos Giraldo highlighted risks including political polarization, disinformation, and the influence of illegal armed groups. He noted that regional instability has historically led to violent incidents, such as attacks on officials and the destruction of electoral materials. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-28: Colombia sets 2027 regional election calendar amid violence concerns Colombia has set October 31, 2027, for regional elections.
