Peru National Board of Justice recruitment processes

Overview

The Junta Nacional de Justicia (JNJ) in Peru has initiated several merit-based selection processes to fill key institutional vacancies.

In late September 2026, the JNJ registered 12 applicants for a public competition to select a new head for the Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE). This process follows the resignation of Piero Corvetto and aims to establish leadership through a four-stage evaluation involving testing, curriculum review, work plan presentations, and interviews.

By late October 2026, the JNJ expanded its recruitment efforts by approving a competition to fill 478 vacant prosecutor positions across various specialties. This initiative, prompted by the Attorney General’s Office, is intended to ensure budget sustainability for the 2027-2029 period and emphasizes principles of meritocracy and transparency.
