Presidential candidate Mario Vizcarra Cornejo, representing Peru Primero (Peru First Party), cast his vote on Sunday in Lima’s Miraflores district as part of the 2026 General Elections taking place nationwide.
The candidate's participation came after several hours of waiting due to delays in the setup of the polling station assigned to him during this election day, as presidential contenders fulfill their civic duty at different polling places.
Joining him on the presidential ticket are Carlos Illanes Calderon, running for first vice president, and Judith Mendoza Diaz, running for second vice president. Together, they will await the official results.
According to the electoral roll of the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (Reniec), more than 27 million Peruvians are eligible to vote at a total of 92,766 polling tables installed nationwide. This process marks the return to a bicameral Congress.
In this electoral process, voters will elect the President, vice presidents, members of the bicameral Congress (Senate and Chamber of Deputies), as well as representatives to the Andean Parliament.
The 2026 election day began Sunday at 7:00 a.m. across the country and will continue until 6:00 p.m., during which citizens can head to the polls to choose the country’s new national authorities.
