The electoral roll of the ONPE closed on October 2, 2021. That is, as of that date, the updates made to the DNI do not appear in the roll of the Regional and Municipal Elections 2022. Therefore a voting center must be chosen in the district of residence that appears on the DNI.
The ONPE has also responded to social network users that last year the 2021 General Elections were held, but this time it is the 2022 Regional and Municipal Elections, where we must also elect the mayor of our district. For this reason, it is not possible to choose polling places from another district.
The electoral roll approved for the elections on October 2 comprises a total of 24,760,062 eligible citizens to elect their regional and municipal authorities.
