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 include the distribution of materials to regions like Huánuco and Huarmey using police escorts and satellite monitoring. To enhance fiscalization, ONPE has extended the deadline for political organizations and candidates to submit their first financial reports to September 18, 2026, covering income and expenditures from January 7 to September 5.

In Mexico, the National Electoral Institute (INE) has finalized the calendar for the 2026-2027 Federal Electoral Process. The federal election is scheduled for June 6, 2027, coinciding with local elections across all 32 entities to renew the 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. The formal process began on September 10, 2026, with party precampaigns set for January 4 to February 12, 2027. Political parties must determine internal selection methods at least 30 days before precampaigns and notify the INE within 72 hours of their decision.

Regulatory and political tensions have intensified. The INE General Council rejected a third proposal to establish guidelines for regulating “pre-campaigns,” which sought to oversee territorial tours and social media spending. Additionally, the PRI and Somos parties accused INE President Guadalupe Taddei of restricting dialogue by conducting sessions strictly virtually, while the PRI has sought legal measures against Morena coordinators, alleging premature campaign activities.

Following the resignation of Taddei, the Chamber of Deputies has postponed the announcement to elect a new INE president. Ricardo Monreal, president of Jucopo, cited a lack of consensus and deep mutual distrust among political forces, including proposed amendments from the PAN, as reasons for the delay.
