Peruvian Electoral Court Evaluates Solutions Amid Electoral Crisis

Peru’s National Jury of Elections (JNE) is evaluating potential solutions amid an ongoing electoral crisis following the April 12 general election, as vote counting continues and tensions rise over the legitimacy of the results.

The JNE plenary session is assessing possible exits from the electoral impasse, which has been marked by delays in the ballot count, public frustration, and allegations of fraud from several candidates. The prolonged count has led to demonstrations outside electoral headquarters in Lima, with voters expressing distrust in the process.
