For their part, three experts on electoral issues from the European Union (from Spain and Portugal) are already in Peruvian territory.
The Ecuadorian Human Rights Committee will also participate in the observation, bringing six observers, while the Ibero-American Association of Jurists will bring five.
Likewise, the Electoral Observatory of the Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean and the Observatory of Democracy of the Mercosur Parliament have each accredited four members.
