The Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE) continues to process results for the second round of the presidential election, with 95.707% of electoral records tallied as of June 9, 2026. Roberto Sánchez of Juntos por el Perú leads with 50.074% of the vote, while Keiko Fujimori of Fuerza Popular follows closely with 49.926%. The results remain subject to change as officials resolve 1,511 observed electoral records.
Current status of the vote count
The ongoing count, available via the ONPE real-time portal, reflects only those records that did not face observations during the June 7 election. Because the margin between Sánchez and Fujimori is tight, the resolution of the 1,511 currently observed records is critical to determining the final outcome. The ONPE continues to work through these pending documents to finalize the national tally.
Did You Know? The second round of voting involved the installation of 92,000 polling stations across Peru to facilitate the national electoral process.
International voting and logistics
Voting abroad concluded with 100% of the 2,506 polling stations successfully processed. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs managed the process across 119 consular offices and 219 voting locations in 73 countries. This effort included the fusion of 490 voting stations, primarily in the United States and Europe, in accordance with established electoral regulations.
The transport of physical electoral material from international sites to the ONPE has already begun. Officials expect this process to conclude by Wednesday, June 10, when the final shipments arrive from abroad for formal processing in Peru.
Processing voter absences
The Jurado Nacional de Elecciones (JNE) has begun accepting requests for dispensations and justifications for voters who did not cast a ballot. Luis Grillo, head of the JNE’s Office of User Attention and Document Management, stated that while it is too early to provide a final figure for the second round, over 7 million voters did not participate in the first round.
Expert Insight: The narrow margin between the two candidates underscores the high stakes of the remaining observed records. With less than a percentage point separating the contenders, the administrative review of these records is now the primary factor in the final tally, shifting the focus from the ballot box to the legal and procedural oversight of the electoral authorities.
