Peru: Regime Reviews Disputed Election Ballots With Final Result Likely Stalled Until May

Source: US News & World Report

“Peru’s ⁠electoral ⁠authorities began reviewing thousands of contested ⁠ballots on Monday, stalling the count in the April 12 general election ​and delaying final results, as no clear presidential rival has emerged to face conservative frontrunner Keiko Fujimori in a ‌June runoff. Roughly 6% of polling stations — ‌representing more than one million votes — were challenged last week due to missing information or errors on ⁠tally sheets, ⁠according to Peru’s National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE). Peru’s top electoral body, the ​National Jury of Elections (JNE), said it has started reviewing disputed polling stations in public hearings before adding them to the final tally, a process that could take weeks.” (04/20/26)
