JNE declares the proclamation records of the 2026 elections compliant

The Plenary of the National Jury of Elections (JNE) declared that the Proclamation Acts of the Results of the 2026 Regional and Municipal Elections, issued by the Special Electoral Juries, are consistent with the official results of the electoral count, except for the cases in which a specific correction was ordered. The decision is contained in Resolution No. 4557-2026-JNE, published in the Official Gazette El Peruano No. 19624 on Sunday, November 8, 2026, in the Legal Norms section.

The pronouncement is the result of the ex officio review that the Plenary itself ordered via an Agreement on October 28, 2026, published on October 29, 2026, in a special supplement of El Peruano. In that agreement, the JNE determined to review the proclamation acts of the Special Electoral Juries “regarding numerical aspects and general matters concerning elected and proclaimed authorities,” in order to guarantee the double instance and the uniformity of jurisdictional criteria in a process that featured 91 Special Electoral Juries deployed throughout the country.

What the resolution declares

Resolution No. 4557-2026-JNE contrasts the proclamation acts against two concrete parameters: the official results of the electoral count submitted by the Decentralized Offices of Electoral Processes (ODPE) and the applicable jurisdictional criteria. The scopes of the pronouncement are as follows:

• Declares the Proclamation Acts of Results issued by the Special Electoral Juries as compliant, according to the table of local governments listed in Annex 1 of the resolution.
• Establishes the official count submitted by the ODPE and the jurisdictional criteria set by the Supreme Electoral Court as the reference for contrast.
• Orders the correction of the specific cases detailed in the same pronouncement, among which is the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima.

Annex 1 is an integral part of the resolution and is the instrument where the reviewed acts and the cases subject to correction are identified, such that the pronouncement operates as the closing act of the numerical review of the proclamations.

The electoral calendar that remains open

The validation of the acts does not exhaust the process, because the Second Regional Election 2026 maintains peremptory deadlines set by the Plenary:

• The National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) must deliver all observed minutes from the Second Regional Election to the Special Electoral Juries by Sunday, December 13, 2026.
• Public vote recount hearings must be held within a maximum period of three calendar days from the moment the Special Electoral Jury orders the recount.
• December 23, 2026, has been set as the deadline for the Special Electoral Juries to conduct the public recount hearings.
• In the event of a tie, the draw is resolved by a coin toss using a S/ 1.00 coin, in accordance with the uniform criteria established by the Plenary.
• Candidates proclaimed as elected authorities must sign the usage form for the JNE Electronic Mailbox for the delivery of credentials.

The horizon for the entire schedule is the assumption of office by regional and municipal authorities on January 1, 2027.

Other decisions published on the same day

The November 8, 2026 edition also includes rulings that resolved controversial minutes, showing that the review did not leave the questioned proclamations intact:

• Resolution No. 4374-2026-JNE declared Resolution No. 00879-2026-JEE-LIS2/JNE null and void and ordered the vote recount of Electoral Minute No. 052512-45-O, from the district municipal election of Villa María del Triunfo, Lima.
• Resolution No. 4559-2026-JNE annulled Resolution No. 01102-2026-JEE-LIS2/JNE regarding the district municipal election and ordered the recount of Electoral Minute No. 052217-48-V, from the same Lima district.
• Resolution No. 4565-2026-JNE confirmed Resolution No. 00953-2026-JEE-CONV/JNE, which declared the requested nullity for Polling Station No. 017517, in Kumpirushiato, La Convención, to be unfounded.

The validation of the proclamation minutes defines the roster of elected authorities in regions and municipalities and clears the uncertainty regarding the official computation results. For citizens and political organizations, the ruling sets the starting point for the delivery of credentials and the installation of the new authorities on January 1, 2027, while the pending recounts of the Second Regional Election are resolved within the established deadlines.
