National Elections Board (JNE) Chairman Roberto Burneo on Thursday estimated that the second-round election results would be officially declared on Friday, July 3, marking the completion of the final milestone in the 2026 General Elections.
“As for the official proclamation of results, we are already conducting it through the Special Electoral Boards. We estimate that we will officially declare the second-round results next Friday, July 3, in accordance with all procedural matters,” he stated.
In a briefing with reporters, the JNE head noted that presenting credentials to lawmakers and Andean representatives signifies the commencement of the electoral process’s concluding stage.
“Today’s ceremony represents the collective effort of the entire electoral system. It also represents the will of the people to elect those who will ultimately represent us,” he pointed out.
Burneo observed that the definitive phase of the presidential runoff is nearing its conclusion, as the regional Special Electoral Boards finalize their respective official declarations from Thursday, June 25, through Saturday, June 27.
“So, it (the official declaration of the second-round results) will take place much earlier than we had indicated, given the complexity of the electoral process, which has no equivalent in other countries,” he explained.
The head of the electoral authority delivered these comments just prior to the formal certification event for incoming senators and regional parliamentarians.
The administrative assembly took place at the headquarters of the Medical College of Peru, situated in the Miraflores district of Lima.
The distribution of these formal accreditation records is being executed based on the definitive vote tally validated by the full JNE panel on Friday, June 19.

Following the official declaration of results on July 3, Peru will transition toward the formal inauguration of its new executive and legislative branches. Financial analysts note that market volatility surrounding the Peruvian sol is expected to stabilize as political certainty takes hold. International observers will continue monitoring the legal certification of votes by the Special Electoral Boards through June 27 to ensure total compliance with international democratic frameworks.
