Peru Electoral Panel Rejects Primero la Gente Presidential Ticket for Late Filing

The next step is a JNE appeal that hinges on an IT report pointing to the digital‑signature service rather than a Declara+ failure.

Overview

  • JEE Lima Centro 1 issued Resolution N° 08928-2025 declaring the registration extemporaneous and ordering the file archived, leaving 36 presidential formulas in the race.
  • Electoral rules set a Dec. 23 cutoff, with a narrow virtual window until noon Dec. 24 only for filings initiated on Dec. 23 by a continuously connected legal representative.
  • A JNE IT review reported incidents in the digital-signature service at specific moments and said it could not conclusively verify that Primero la Gente was directly affected.
  • The JEE noted the party received remote technical assistance on Dec. 24, uploaded other documents in Declara+, and lodged supporting writings at 15:58 and 18:00 after the noon cutoff.
  • Personero Marco Zevallos argued platform problems made timely filing impossible, while candidate Marisol Pérez Tello condemned the ruling and said the party will appeal to the JNE plenary.
