The Elecciones Regionales y Municipales (ERM) 2026 are scheduled for Sunday, October 4, 2026, running from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To prepare voters, the Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE) has approved six distinct ballot models to account for varying regional and municipal voting requirements.
Because voting procedures are strictly regulated, errors made while marking the ballot or any damage to the electoral cédula can directly impact the validity of a voter's selection. Official norms dictate how marks must be executed to ensure the vote is counted properly.
