2031 Peruvian general election
General elections are scheduled to occur in Peru on 13 April 2031 to elect the president, vice president and the two houses of the Congress of Peru for a term of five years. In the 2026 general election, Keiko Fujimori, the leader of Fujimorism and its party Popular Force, was elected as president and cannot be re-elected to serve consecutive terms.[1]
Electoral system
[edit ]President
[edit ]The president is elected using the two-round system.[2] The first round of voting allows eligible voters to vote for any viable presidential candidate.[2] The top two candidates who receive a plurality of the vote proceed to the run-off election.[2] The winner of the run-off election and the presidential election is the candidate who receives a plurality of the popular vote.[2] [3] 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.[3]
Congress and Andean Parliament
[edit ]The 130 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected in 27 multi-member constituencies using open list proportional representation.[4] Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method.[5] [6] The 60 senators are elected through two systems, with 30 elected in a single nationwide constituency through proportional representation and 30 elected from the 27 constituencies used for the Chamber of Deputies, with Lima province electing four senators and the other 26 constituencies electing one each.[7] Peru has five seats in the Andean Parliament, which are elected using a common constituency by open list proportional representation.[8]
Threshold
[edit ]To gain seats in each chamber, parties must both reach a 5% electoral threshold of valid votes for the chamber at the national level and also qualify for at least 5% of the number of seats of the respective chamber (7 for the chamber of deputies and 3 for the senate). For the senate, the combined vote total for the district and national list senators is used when checking whether a party has reached the threshold.[9] [10]
