More Than 1 Million Peruvians Pick Preferred Polling Sites as ONPE Tool Stays Open Through Dec. 14

The online system lets voters rank nearby sites within their registered district, with final assignments to be announced in 2026.

Overview

  • ONPE reports 1,002,057 citizens selected their three options between Nov. 23 and 26, led by Lima, Callao, Arequipa, La Libertad and Piura.
  • The platform is available 24/7 until Dec. 14 at eligetulocal.onpe.gob.pe and can be used in Spanish, Quechua or Aymara.
  • Eligibility is tied to the electoral roll closed on Oct. 14, so choices must be within the district listed on the voter’s DNI.
  • Identity verification uses DNI data with security questions plus DNI photo or facial recognition on mobile, and data are protected under Peru’s privacy law.
  • ONPE will assign one official location in 2026, with some outlets citing Jan. 13 and others March, and voters who do not participate will receive an automatic assignment; regional offices offer in-person assistance.
