Peru’s 2026 Ballot Narrows as 22 Presidential Tickets Are Officially Registered

Appeals proceed to the JNE after special juries enforced eligibility rules on convictions, filing cutoffs and neutrality.

Overview

  • JEE Lima Centro 1’s registry lists 22 presidential formulas as fully inscribed after the tacha period closed for those tickets.
  • JEE Lima Centro 1 declared the Primero La Gente ticket led by Marisol Pérez Tello inadmissible for late submission, and the party says it will appeal while alleging failures in the JNE’s SIGNNET digital-signature system.
  • JEE Lima Centro 2 deemed Mario Vizcarra’s Senate bid inadmissible due to a 2005 peculado conviction, with TC president Luz Pacheco noting precedents that would likely bar such candidacies under Law 30717.
  • The JNE confirmed the improcedencia of prosecutor Sandra Castro’s Senate candidacy for the Partido Morado because she did not resign her post within the legal deadline.
  • A citizen filed a tacha against Avanza País candidate José Williams over his declared income, and JEE Arequipa 1 opened neutrality proceedings involving two municipal councilors tied to partisan events.
