Peruvian election workers must collect payments at National Bank

The Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE) is processing payments for 269,184 citizens who served as polling station members during the 2026 Regional and Municipal Elections in Peru.

The electoral agency began distributing a compensation payment of 165 soles to these workers on October 13.

While many participants received their funds through digital wallets like Yape or via private banks such as Banco de Crédito del Perú, BBVA, and Scotiabank, a portion of the group must still collect their money in person. Currently, 31,957 citizens, representing 12 percent of the total polling station members, have yet to receive their payment. These individuals must visit a Banco de la Nación branch and present their National Identity Document to claim the funds.

The ONPE says these workers have until December 31 to complete the transaction.
