Sources: 71. Developments: 26. Peru is advancing logistical and educational preparations for the regional and municipal elections on 4 October 2026. The National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) has established a definitive voter registry of over 26,314,000 eligible citizens and deployed over 10,000 polling locations. To manage campaign oversight, ONPE has extended the deadline for the first submission of campaign financial information to Friday, September 18. Logistical efforts have expanded to include the distribution of credentials to 9,558 designated polling station members in Chincha and Pisco. These individuals must attend training sessions in late September or face an electoral fine of S/275. Security coordination is also underway, with the National Police of Peru receiving training in San Isidro to protect citizens and electoral materials. However, civil organizations like the Mesa de Concertación de Cajamarca have raised concerns regarding a lack of informed voting among the electorate. Candidate engagement remains a priority through regional forums. In Áncash, the Cámara de Turismo Zona Costa de Áncash organized a forum for September 17 to discuss tourism development. Frida Aybar Navarro, president of the chamber, emphasized the need for candidates to present concrete actions rather than “ambiguous speeches.” Similarly, in the Pisacoma district of Chucuito, local leaders scheduled a debate for September 23 to allow voters to evaluate platforms regarding local governance and the livestock-based economy. ## Claims - The elections will select 25 regional governors, 196 provincial mayors, 1,696 district mayors, and 364 councilors.
