Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE)

The Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE) is Peru's National Office of Electoral Processes, responsible for organizing and overseeing elections. It is currently newsworthy due to its involvement in the recent Peruvian general election. The election's first round was marred by significant errors attributed to ONPE, leading to delays and casting a shadow over the process. These errors were severe enough to extend voting for 50,000 voters in the capital. The irregularities have raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral process as the country moves towards a second round, where candidates will compete for the presidency. ONPE's performance is under scrutiny as Peru navigates this critical political period.
