Peruvians are voting in a presidential runoff between an ex-central banker and the daughter of an autocrat, both pro-business and both statistically tied in the latest polls.
Polling stations opened at 8 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. local time. Close to 23 million people are expected to cast their ballots after no candidate won more than 50 percent in the first round of voting in April. Ipsos and GFK will release exit polls after voting ends, with the first official results expected at 9 p.m.
