An election exit poll is a poll of voters taken immediately after they have exited the polling stations. Unlike an opinion poll, which asks whom the voter plans to vote for, an exit poll asks whom the voter actually voted for. 

It is worth noting polls are not conclusive and might differ from the final result.

Editor's note: These poll results were broadcast on America Television channel.


24,799,384 Peruvian citizens were eligible to participate in the process to elect the 130 legislators who will serve the remaining period of the 2016-2021 legislative tenure, following the constitutional dissolution of Congress.

Out of the total eligible voters, 23,825,154 live in Peru and 974,239 reside abroad, of which 650,010 are in the Americas, 281,640 in Europa, 36,288 in Asia, 5,980 in Oceania, and 321 in Africa.
