The plenary of the
are those that have completed their registration by April 12 of this year.
This was clarified by
JNE Chairman Roberto Burneo in a press conference on Monday following the electoral body's plenary session, at which the schedule was also defined.
"The political organizations eligible to participate in the 2026 electoral process are those that complete their registration by April 12 of this year," he said.
The
JNE chief stated that the
electoral body cannot yet anticipate how many other parties will join the 41 already registered, as although 32 organizations are in the registration process, only some are at more advanced stages.
"Some (political organizations) have already received the summary review, some are in the objection process; this is a procedure that must follow due process," he explained during a press conference.
Furthermore, the official stated that August 1 is the deadline for parties to submit their requests to register electoral alliances.
"We would have about 30 days to provide a response, which would be on September 2 of this year," Burneo said.
The JNE head clarified that August 1 is the final date to submit requests, meaning parties could register their alliances starting from this moment.
Furthermore, he specified that the date for submitting candidates is December 23, following the respective primary elections or delegate processes.
"There are others that are also relevant, such as the date for candidates to register and participate in primary elections, which is October 31; the closure of the electoral roll, a task of the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC), which is October 14, and so forth," Burneo stated.
"We will inform you of all the electoral milestones planned within this electoral timeline for the 2026 general elections," he added.
If none of the candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidencies of the Republic obtains more than half of the valid votes, a second election (runoff) will be held between the two candidates with the highest number of votes on June 7, 2026.
