Overview
- ONPE is expected to submit its Digital Voting Technological Solution (STVD) to the JNE by October 15 for review.
- The JNE says its technical audit will determine whether the digital vote pilot proceeds for the April 2026 general elections.
- Audit work has been condensed to roughly two months although comparable reviews typically take about three months.
- JNE officials highlight that the pilot would involve more than two million voters, far exceeding international trial sizes of roughly 2,000 to 5,000.
- ONPE chief Piero Corvetto projects a go or no-go decision by late December 2025 or early January 2026, noting the TC barred electronic voting but did not prohibit digital voting and Congress mandated the pilot for the national contest.
