The date was advanced. The National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) reported that it has already begun sending emails to citizens indicating the voting location assigned to vote in the 2022 Regional and Municipal Elections, which will be held on Sunday, October 2.
The announcement was made by ONPE through its social networks, specifying that it began sending the first emails on Monday August 15. Previously, the entity had indicated that they would do so from September 1.
Who is your polling place communicated to?
Information regarding the assigned polling place is being sent to the people who used the “Choose your polling place” platform at the time. On that occasion, the citizens chose a list of locals, according to their preference, and waited for the ONPE to assign them one.
The deadline for voters to choose their polling places expired on June 5 of this year.

What information will you receive by mail?
The email that ONPE began to send details the polling place, the exact address and the district where your polling place is located.
How long will the emails be sent?
ONPE estimates that within approximately three days, it will finish sending the confirmation messages with the polling places to those who entered Choose your polling place.
In a second phase, notification will begin, also by email, to those who used the aforementioned platform, but for various reasons might not be assigned to their chosen premises for reasons unrelated to ONPE, for example, some inconvenience with the infrastructure of the premises. chosen, and that prevents its authorization as a voting center.
What happens if the citizen did not choose their polling place?
José Carlos Urbina, deputy manager of Electoral Research of the ONPE, previously reported that in these cases “The ONPE will do it within the district where he lives (the voter)”.
