Peru’s 2026 Vetting Phase Intensifies as Cerrón Ticket Is Admitted and Vizcarra Challenge Proceeds

Administrative rulings alongside technical complaints will determine which of the 36 presidential slates qualify for the ballot.

Overview

  • The electoral authority admitted Perú Libre’s presidential slate led by Vladimir Cerrón, triggering a three‑day tacha period for citizen challenges.
  • JEE Lima Centro 1 accepted for processing a tacha against Perú Primero’s Mario Vizcarra based on a firm embezzlement conviction cited under Law 30717, and ordered the party to respond within one day.
  • A tacha against Renovación Popular’s Rafael López Aliaga was declared inadmissible for lack of the required fee receipt, with a one‑day window to cure before possible rejection.
  • Process data show 14 groups fully inscribed, 12 slates in the tacha window, and eight admitted to continue, with final appeal and exclusion decisions due by March 13, 2026.
  • Primero la Gente reported outages in the JNE’s Declara+ and Signnet systems that it says blocked its registrations, claims documented in support logs after the deadline extension to midday December 24.
