ONPE Expects 60% Presidential Results by Midnight After Final System Test

The guidance sets a clear timeline for official returns to prevent confusion on election night.

Overview

  • ONPE chief Piero Corvetto, who spoke Sunday, said the portal should show about 60% of the presidential count by midnight, with official updates starting at 5 p.m. and refreshing every 15 minutes.
  • ONPE completed a nationwide simulation of its results system on Sunday to verify secure data transmission, with observers from the EU, OAS, the Carter Center, the JNE, and parties present.
  • In Lima and Callao, ONPE will use the STAE tool at 29,266 polling tables to auto-fill and print tally sheets to cut transcription errors and speed result transmission.
  • Authorities set 2,260 voting sites in Lima and Callao and reassigned about 33,000 voters after venue closures, so residents are urged to check their polling place again before Sunday.
  • RENIEC confirmed that expired national IDs will be accepted only to vote on April 12, and citizens who turn 18 by election day may vote with their youth ID.
