Overview
- With the October 31 cutoff reached, parties have finished internal sign‑ups and ONPE is set to receive and evaluate consolidated candidate lists on November 7.
- Primary routes diverge by modality: affiliates vote on November 30, and elected delegates will choose final slates on December 7.
- The JNE’s rules require presidential tickets and parliamentary lists to secure at least 10% of valid votes in primaries or face exclusion from the process.
- ONPE projects an unusually complex April 12, 2026 election, including a 44×42 cm ballot allowing up to 12 marks per voter, 126 ODPEs, 90,000 polling tables and about 835,000 table members with S/160 incentives.
- Authorities report extensive ONPE technical assistance to parties, and a proposed digital voting pilot for 11 priority groups awaits a mid‑December decision subject to JNE oversight.
