15:03 | Lima, Apr. 9.

National Elections Board (JNE) Chairman Jorge Luis Salas on Friday affirmed that on April 11 all Peruvians have an appointment with the country's history and must go to vote in an orderly manner, respecting biosafety protocols to face the COVID-19 pandemic.

Likewise, the official said that they must go to the polls with the certainty that each citizen's voting power will contribute to the country's growth and aggrandizement.

"Let's vote reasonably thinking about the family, thinking about the future. Let it be for the sake of Peru," the electoral authority expressed in a message addressed to all eligible voters.

 

On this occasion, voting will rely on an extended schedule unlike previous processes, in order to avoid crowds at times of COVID-19.
