Elections in Peru


In Peru, the people directly elect a head of state as well as a legislature. The president is elected by the people for a five-year term. The unicameral Congress has 130 members, also elected for a five-year term by proportional representation.
Peru has a multi-party system, which effectively bars one party from becoming the sole influence in a decision-making process. As such, parties must work with one another to form coalition governments.
The whole election process is held by the National Jury of Elections and the
National Office of Electoral Processes. Peru has compulsory voting.
