⚡️ Key issues included: – Digital voter registries failing across 15% of capital city stations – Ballot deliveries delayed to working-class neighborhoods – Elderly voters waiting 3+ hours in some districts
Social Media Erupts
📱 #PeruVotes trended globally as users shared videos of: – Election workers handwriting voter IDs on scrap paper – Police managing growing crowds at functioning stations – Candidates making last-minute campaign appeals via TikTok
