- President Roberto Burneo cautioned that insufficient funds could compromise organization, oversight and transparency, with training, printing, polling-site setup and remote deployments flagged as most vulnerable.
- The electoral authority said it is coordinating with the Economy Ministry and Congress to secure additional resources, but the financing gap remains unresolved.
- The JNE affirmed that parties must filter aspirants now, with formal qualification of candidacies starting on December 23 and final, vetted lists due by March 14.
- To streamline vetting, the JNE launched the Declara Más sworn pre-filing platform and said it has taken legal steps, including appeals to the Constitutional Tribunal, to protect the electoral calendar.
