Peru held chaotic presidential election with runoff set for June.

Peruvians voted on April 12, 2026, in a chaotic presidential election with over 30 candidates following years of instability. With no candidate securing a majority, a runoff on June 7 is likely. The vote, driven by voter frustration over crime and corruption, faced logistical delays, leaving some voters unable to cast ballots before the 5 p.m. deadline.
