Overview
- ONPE began escorted shipments of electoral material Friday, dispatching trucks from its Lurín hub under police protection and satellite monitoring with interim chief Bernardo Pachas Serrano supervising the start of the operation.
- The rollout moves hundreds of tonnes of ballots, actas, voting booths and contingency kits along dozens of land routes that will continue through Sept. 24 for interior deliveries and resume for Lima and Callao on Oct. 2.
- ODPEs are opening 21 district offices in Trujillo and many other decentralized centers to bring voter services closer to communities and to run in‑person training for members of mesa on Sept. 20 and Sept. 27.
- ONPE has enabled the consultaelectoral portal and a virtual credential download so designated poll workers can confirm their table and print credentials, and it has reassigned 17 voting locales covering 158 tables for safety and operational reasons.
- Officials stressed turnout because heavy El Niño rains could complicate a November runoff if governors fail to reach 30% of valid votes; members of mesa must report at 6:00 a.m., receive S/165 for service and face a S/275 fine for unjustified absence.
