Peru 2026 Elections: Overseas Voting and Logistical Challenges

Peruvian citizens living abroad faced significant logistical challenges during the 2026 presidential and congressional elections, with voting materials delayed and polling stations encountering operational difficulties in multiple international locations.

The National Office of Electoral Process (ONPE) confirmed that while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs successfully delivered election records from overseas constituencies, serious logistical issues persisted in the execution of voting abroad. These difficulties affected Peruvian voters in various countries, including Spain, where citizens reported delays and concerns about insecurity and corruption while attempting to cast their ballots in Madrid.
