Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) in Peru delivered economic compensation to 194,646 citizens who served as members of the election boards during Regional and Municipal Elections.
The payments of S/ 165 (Peruvian Soles) began on October 13 and occurred through Yape, bank deposits, and in-person collection at the Banco de la Nación. As of October 18, 74,538 citizens still needed to collect their stipends in person at the bank.
ONPE reports that all payments made via Yape and bank deposits have been successfully received. ONPE provided the in-person payment option for people who served as board members while waiting in line to vote due to absent titular members, and for those who experienced issues with other payment methods. Banks rejected 8,373 payment requests for various reasons, and ONPE encourages citizens to check their payment status on the official platform.
