Overview
- The Jurado Nacional de Elecciones began enforcing time‑phased restrictions on Monday, blocking the publication and broadcast of voting‑intention polls across national media.
- Political rallies and campaign closing events are permitted only until 23:59 on Thursday, October 1, after which public political manifestations are restricted.
- Electoral propaganda and candidates' participation in media interviews and debates must stop by 23:59 on Friday, October 2, which is 24 hours before election day.
- A ley seca banning alcohol sales runs from 08:00 on Saturday, October 3 to 08:00 on Monday, October 5, and on Sunday, October 4 between 07:00 and 17:00 gatherings within 100 meters of polling places are prohibited while detention of party agents and polling staff is limited to cases of flagrante delicto.
- The rules are grounded in the Ley Orgánica de Elecciones and enforced by the JNE with reported fines for poll‑publication breaches of 10–100 UIT; the measures apply to more than 26 million eligible voters and seek to keep campaigns even in a crowded Lima mayoral race.
