Overview
- ONPE issued a gerencial resolution extending the first campaign-finance filing deadline to Friday, September 18, a move reported by national outlets on Saturday.
- The first report must cover all contributions, income and expenses from January 7 through September 5 and must use the agency's specified forms (formatos 5–8 and formato 14).
- Parties and candidates may file electronically through the CLARIDAD system or deliver paper forms in person at ONPE central or regional offices, and a candidate or a designated campaign official may submit on behalf of more than one postulant.
- Commentators warned that the franja electoral was already postponed from August 5 to September 5 because definitive lists were still being processed, and they criticized what they say is reduced detail in ONPE’s published spending data and past misuse of franja allocations.
- Local data show low compliance so far, with Arequipa reporting visible financial entries for 29% of obliged candidates and roughly S/835,000 in declared spending, and officials say totals could rise during the extended filing window.
