Overview

• ONPE’s gerencial resolution assigns Renovación Popular to the ‘literal b’ modality—universal, voluntary voting by affiliates—after the party’s late, noncompliant filings made its requested delegate system inadmissible.
• The JNE set June 11, 2025 for statute updates and September 1, 2025 for notifying the primary modality and registering non‑affiliated electors, deadlines the party missed as ONPE opted to preserve its participation via a closed vote of affiliates.
• Closed primaries entail a participation threshold risk: if fewer than 10% of affiliates vote, the party could be excluded from the primary process, according to electoral expert analysis.
• JNE forensic reports identified 32 falsified affiliation signatures in Primero La Gente and 4 in Perú Acción and referred the cases to the JNE Procuraduría for legal action, while leaders of both parties publicly disputed the findings.
• Election authorities are finalizing a single five‑block ballot for the bicameral contest and a targeted digital‑voting system for prioritized groups, with enrollment open from October 29 to December 13, 2025, alongside guidance to minimize invalid votes.
