Overview
- Education officials confirmed that schools used as voting sites will pause in‑person classes on the school days surrounding the vote to allow installation and later removal of polling equipment.
- Roughly 10,130 schools nationwide have been designated as voting centers, while institutions not selected will hold classes as usual.
- Election authorities set voting hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and members assigned to run polling tables must arrive at 6:00 a.m. to set up before doors open.
- The national ID office extended the validity of expired IDs for use on election day, and it advises people who lose or have an ID stolen to file a police report and present it to the elections jury to seek a fine waiver.
- Two major public universities outlined campus plans: San Marcos will halt activities at its main campus ahead of the vote, and the National University of Engineering will shift to virtual teaching through the day after to keep coursework on track.
