The electoral schedule approved by the
National Elections Board (JNE) is currently underway.
The timeline sets deadlines and key dates that must be observed by political parties and electoral system bodies. It also serves as a reference for public information.
This electoral process will allow Peruvians to go to the polls to elect the next President of the Republic, Vice Presidents, Senators, Deputies, and Representatives to the Andean Parliament.
The
