The General Election process began Monday morning at 13 polling places in the city of Lima where voting tables could not be set up the previous day.
The process will allow for the election of the President of the Republic, two vice presidents, senators and deputies of the bicameral Congress, as well as Peruvian representatives to the Andean Parliament.
This electoral day will take place at polling places located in three districts of Lima, whose voters—totaling 52,261—were unable to cast their ballots last Sunday.
The National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) reported that, in order to guarantee the constitutional right to suffrage for these voters, 187 polling tables will be set up, operating from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (local time).
For this electoral day, the agency will use its own vehicles to transport electoral materials, enabling the affected citizens to exercise their right to suffrage.
