ONPE Steps Up Election Prep With Secure Dispatch, Broader Training and Tech Trials

ONPE says progress in training will support faster, more reliable results.

Overview

  • The training drive, which drew 194,518 attendees on Sunday, has lifted coverage to 34.6% across in-person sessions, district offices and the ONPEduca platform, with a second nationwide day set for April 5.
  • ONPE has begun shipping ballots and equipment from its Lurín hubs under police escort with real-time satellite tracking, sending boxes, backup kits, signs, folding ballot boxes, voting booths and 30,000 Braille templates.
  • Election tech was showcased to party technicians and media, including STAE, a laptop–printer–USB kit that will operate only in Lima and Callao to help members of mesa fill tally sheets and transmit results from equipped tables.
  • The computing system will run an official simulation on April 5, the multipurpose room for system access remains open to parties until April 9, and final deliveries to 2,270 sites in Lima and Callao are slated for April 10 at 10 p.m. using 400 vehicles.
  • ODPEs are posting official candidate lists locally as more than 27 million voters check their polling place, while nonvoters face tiered fines and designated members of mesa who skip duty risk a S/275 penalty.
