Decentralization in Peru has long been a major issue in the government agenda.[citation needed]
A
twenty-five regions will merge to form five new, larger regions. All citizens who are 18 or older and reside in the affected regions (7'234,321 persons) were entitled to vote.[citation needed
]
Voters overwhelmingly opposed the merge, and therefore the regions will stay the way they currently are. Another referendum was scheduled for 2011 or 2012.[citation needed]
These are the new regions that were to be created if the voters had voted in favour of the merge:
- Región Norte: Tumbes
- Región Nor Centro Oriente: Pasco
- Ica-Ayacucho-Huancavelica: Ica
- Cusco-Apurímac: Cusco
- Región Sur: Tacna
