ONPE Opens S/165 Payments for 2026 Poll Workers Nationwide

The rollout makes payouts faster through banks or digital wallets with a yearlong window for in-person pickup.

Overview

  • ONPE’s S/165 compensation went live by deposit or digital wallet on Monday, April 28, and in-person collection at Banco de la Nación began Tuesday, April 29, with claims open through December 31, 2026.
  • Those with rejected deposits or no registered payment method must collect at any Banco de la Nación branch and present a valid DNI.
  • The payment applies only to people who served the full election day as table members, including alternates or replacements, while non-attendance carries a S/275 fine.
  • People who missed voting or their table duty can request a fine waiver through the JNE platform or its offices by submitting proof and paying a S/25.90 fee under code 01465, with online payment available at pagalo.pe.
  • Funds can arrive by bank deposit at Banco de la Nación, BCP, BBVA, or Scotiabank or to Yape, and statements may list the credit as “movilidad,” “pagos varios,” or similar; several outlets also note the S/165 equals 3% of one UIT.
