As Peru heads into the second round of its General Elections on Sunday, June 7, 2026, citizens are focused on the practical details of casting their vote. Among the most common queries is how to find one's assigned voting table and polling station, a crucial piece of information for smooth participation.
Election authorities, including the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), have clarified that the National Identity Document (DNI) does not contain the specific voting table number. The DNI serves solely as an identification document at the polling station. To avoid delays and ensure a straightforward voting experience, ONPE strongly advises voters to verify their polling location, voting table number, and their order on the electoral roll beforehand.
The quickest way to obtain this information is by using ONPE's official "Consult your polling place" platform. Voters need to enter their DNI number and a security code provided by the system. The platform then displays the assigned polling station, its exact address, the voting table number, and the voter's position within that table.
On election day, voters will need to present their DNI to the polling station members to confirm their identity and presence on the electoral roll. Even expired DNIs are exceptionally authorized for use in this election, as per Reniec's directive. For those who arrive at the polling station without knowing their table number, orientation modules, QR codes, and information panels will be available at the voting centers, though early consultation is highly recommended to prevent congestion.
