Peru: 600K DNIs uncollected ahead of Oct 2026 regional elections
La República (Peru)LO·PE·about 9 hours ago
Peru's electoral registry (Reniec) corrected addresses for 38,000 'golondrino' voters (individuals who register in districts where they do not reside to influence local elections), with Áncash accounting for 40% of cases. The director acknowledged a lack of effective criminal penalties and hinted at proposing a law to extend the voter registry closure deadline for regional elections. This highlights ongoing electoral integrity challenges in Peru, though the immediate market impact is minimal.
