Peru 2026 regional & municipal elections logistics

Overview

The 2026 regional and municipal elections in Peru have progressed through intensive logistical preparation, legal scrutiny, and post-election disputes. Following the initial processing of tallies, the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) finalized preparations for the October 4 election, establishing a voter registry of over 26.3 million citizens and deploying more than 10,000 polling locations. Election day was marked by various incidents, including an alleged explosive detonation in Celendín, Cajamarca, and the burning of electoral records in the Huánuco region. In Loreto, ONPE relocated polling stations following the death of candidate Sundi Simón Kamarampi and the expulsion of staff from native communities. Additionally, RENIEC flagged irregular ‘voto golondrino’ movement in Arequipa.

Post-election, the process has entered a complex phase of counting and legal challenges. While ONPE has processed the majority of the 89,935 tallies, thousands of files remain under review by the National Jury of Elections (JNE) and Special Electoral Juries (JEE). In Santa, Somos Perú has requested an expanded investigation into potential irregularities at a Nepeña polling station. In Piura, the JNE revoked a decision to annul an election following violence in San Juan de Bigote, directing the JEE Morropón to review materials held by the Prosecutor's Office to determine if results can be validated. This delay affects the determination of who will face Reynaldo Hilbck in the second round.

As the December 6 runoff approaches, candidates are preparing for debates. In La Libertad, Aldo Carlos Mariños and Elías Nicolás Rodríguez Zavaleta are scheduled for a dialogue session on October 30. In Áncash, Martín Espinal has called for public debates between Antonio Casana and Betto Barrionuevo. Meanwhile, JEEs have begun official proclamations at the district level in Cajamarca and Pasco, and ONPE has completed the official count in Cusco, showing Verónika Mendoza leading with 33.269%.
