Electoral oversight and preparation in Peru and Mexico

Overview

Electoral authorities in Peru and Mexico continue to advance regulatory and logistical preparations for upcoming election cycles.

In Peru, the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) is preparing for the regional and municipal elections scheduled for October 4, 2026. Logistics have expanded to include the distribution of electoral materials to regions such as Huánuco and Huarmey, utilizing police escorts and satellite monitoring to ensure security. Training remains ongoing for polling station members and security forces, including the National Police and the Armed Forces, to maintain vote integrity.

In Mexico, the National Electoral Institute (INE) has formalized the rules and timelines for the 2026-2027 federal election process. Political parties are required to establish internal selection methods by early January 2027, with the formal precampaign period set to run from January 4 to February 12. The INE has also approved specific guidelines regarding candidate selection and coalition registration for federal deputies.

Political friction has emerged in Mexico as the PRI and Somos accused INE President Guadalupe Taddei of restricting debate by conducting sessions virtually. Concurrently, the TEPJF ruled in favor of the PRI regarding a campaign advertisement criticizing Morena, determining the content did not constitute slander. Additionally, the PRI has sought legal measures against Morena coordinators, alleging premature campaign activities.
