This week, the National Elections Juror, the body that counts votes (similar to the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil) stated that around 1,000 minutes - documents with the vote report for each electoral table - will need to be re-counted.
The amount is small compared to the total number of votes in Peru - in total, there are 92,700 minutes in the Peruvian electoral system. However, the dispute in the count is so fierce that the revised minutes could redefine the result.
The president of the National Elections Jury, Roberto Rolando Burneo Bermejo, said that the recount process is time-consuming, and, therefore, estimated that the result may only come out in mid-July, given the proximity of the number of votes for each candidate.
