How to Check Your Polling Place for the June 21, 2026 Presidential Election

For the presidential runoff election on Sunday, June 21, 2026, voters in Bogotá will return to the same polling stations, tables, and jurados used during the first round. According to the Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil, 6,076,599 citizens are eligible to vote in the capital, including 3,201,571 women and 2,875,028 men. These voters are assigned to 1,083 polling stations distributed across the city’s 20 localities, where 17,262 tables will be available to facilitate the process.

Did You Know? The electoral logistics for the second round remain identical to the first, as the Registraduría Nacional has maintained the same setup for polling places, juries, and regulatory rules to ensure the integrity of every vote cast.

How to locate your polling station

Voters can confirm their assigned polling station by visiting the official website of the Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil and selecting the “Elecciones Presidenciales 2026” button. Users must enter their national identification number (cédula) without spaces or punctuation to view their specific department, locality, polling address, and table number. Alternatively, citizens can access this information via the “aVotar” mobile application, which is available for free download on both Google Play and the App Store.

Voting hours and requirements

Polls will remain open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. this Sunday, June 21, in Bogotá and across all other municipalities in the country. To participate, voters must present their official identification: either the yellow cédula with holograms or the digital version, which can be presented physically or via a mobile device. The Registraduría urges citizens to rely exclusively on official channels for updates and results to ensure they receive accurate information throughout the day.

Expert Insight: The impact of administrative continuity

By keeping the same polling locations and jury members for the runoff, the Registraduría Nacional aims to minimize voter confusion and maintain procedural consistency. This approach, while standard, significantly reduces the likelihood of logistical errors that could otherwise disrupt the flow of the election. Maintaining the status quo allows voters to focus on the choice at hand, rather than navigating new site assignments or administrative changes during the final stage of the presidential contest.

Following the close of the polls at 4:00 p.m., the Registraduría Nacional is expected to begin the process of counting and transmitting results.

As the day progresses, it is likely that the agency will provide periodic updates on participation levels and the status of the national tally.
