General elections are scheduled to be held in Peru by 2026, with proposals to bring them forward to 2023 or 2024 due to the 2022–2023 Peruvian protests rejected. [1] [2] [3] The presidential elections will determine the president and the vice presidents, while the congressional elections will determine the composition of the Congress of Peru, which will return to being a bicameral legislature with a 60-seat Senate and 130-seat Chamber of Deputies.
The President is elected using the two-round system. [4] The first round voting allows eligible voters to vote for any viable presidential candidate. [4] The top two candidates who receive a plurality of the vote proceed to the run-off election. [4] The winner of the run-off election and the presidential election is the candidate who receives a plurality of the popular vote. [4] [5] However, if in the first round the candidate who is in the first place already gets more than 50% of the popular vote, that candidate will automatically win the election and a run-off election will no longer be needed. [5]
The 130 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected in 27 multi-member constituencies using open list proportional representation. [6] To enter Congress, parties must either cross the 5% electoral threshold at the national level, or win at least seven seats in one constituency. Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method. [7] [8]
Peru has five seats in the Andean Parliament, which are elected using a common constituency by open list proportional representation. [9]
