Electoral system
The President is elected using the two-round system.[4] The first round voting allows eligible voters to vote for any viable presidential candidate.[4] The top two candidates who receive a plurality of the vote proceed to the run-off election.[4] The winner of the run-off election and the presidential election is the candidate who receives a plurality of the popular vote.[4][5] However, if in the first round the candidate who is in the first place already gets more than 50% of the popular vote, that candidate will automatically win the election and a run-off election will no longer be needed.[5]
The 130 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected in 27 multi-member constituencies using open list proportional representation.[6] To enter Congress, parties must either cross the 5% electoral threshold at the national level, or win at least seven seats in one constituency. Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method.[7][8]
Peru has five seats in the Andean Parliament, which are elected using a common constituency by open list proportional representation.[9]

Notes
- ^ Party General Secretary Luis Galarreta has indicated that Fujimori may be preparing a run, in what was seen by the media as a possible accidental admission of her plans. Though Fujimori has denied interest in running, she did the same after her losses in 2011 and 2016 before ultimately running again.[11]
