Overview
- The ONPE and its decentralized offices have received, verified and begun deploying sealed ballots and voting kits to polling sites across the country, with police and military escorts protecting the chain of custody ahead of voting set for Sunday, October 4.
- Security plans formalized by Resolución Jefatural N.º 000155-2026 assign external perimeter duties to the Policía Nacional and interior custody to the Fuerzas Armadas, and national and local commanders have coordinated routes and escorts for remote deliveries.
- The JNE remains in permanent session and has not decided whether it would issue mayoral credentials to Rafael López Aliaga if his list wins, leaving a legal question about who would assume office for voters and parties to resolve.
- The JNE reported 83 cases of threats, extortion or attacks against candidates and electoral staff and has formally asked the presidency and interior ministry for preventive protection measures.
- Forty international observers from nine missions are accredited to monitor installation and voting, the ONPE has reassigned 17 polling sites and Minedu made more than 10,700 schools available as voting centers so voters are urged to confirm their assigned location on ONPE platforms.
