What is the fine for not voting?
This penalty is not the same for everyone, because it depends on the socioeconomic classification of the district where the citizen who fails to vote is registered in his National Identity Document (DNI).
The fine is calculated based on the amount of the ITU 2026, which is S/5,500. Non-poor districts: 2% of the UIT, which is equivalent to S/110. Poor districts: 1% of the UIT, which is equivalent to S/55. Districts in extreme poverty: 0.5% of the UIT, which is equivalent to S/27.50.
Do I have to pay a fine if I do not fulfill my role as a polling station member?
Yes, and in this case the penalty is equivalent to 5% of a UIT, that is, S/275.
