Legal provisions exist for temporary residents’ polling stations (mesas de transeuntos), but these have not been set up for the general elections in April and June 2001. This has had the effect of excluding a considerable part of Peru’s significant number of migrants from voting, or subjecting them to prohibitive expenditures or fines. It is therefore strongly recommended to grant temporary residents their voting rights and reduce the arbitrarily long time limit for applications for the respective permits (currently 90 days prior to the election date) to a time frame more in accordance with the technical administrative conditions granted by computer-age developments.
