1. As of 8:42 local time on 4/19, the Office of National
Electoral Processes (ONPE) reported that it has counted
91.532 percent of the vote tally sheets (which normally have
no more than 200 votes per Acta, or tally sheet.) The
results to date are:
-- Ollanta Humala 30.789 percent - 3,515,681 valid votes
-- Alan Garcia 24.314 percent - 2,776,331 valid votes
-- Lourdes Flores 23.690 percent - 2,705,097 valid votes
2. Humala remains safely in front. Around 3.8 percent of
the overseas votes have been counted, with Lourdes Flores
receiving 62.2 percent and Alan Garcia 8.5 percent. There
are still a number of challenged tally sheets, but it may
well be that when resolved the challenged tally sheets will
spread out fairly evenly among the candidates. Garcia
continues to maintain his lead over Flores for the second
spot in the run-off, but the gap has narrowed slightly over
the past couple of days.
3. 99.749 percent of the tally sheets have been entered into
the computer, but around 8 percent still have to be validated
and added to the count. Although only a fraction of a percent
of the tally sheets need to be entered into the computer, the
validation process is taking more time and ONPE tells us that
the final count may not be ready until April 30.
4. In the overseas votes, Flores has been handily ahead with
58.934 percent to Garcia's 16.583 and Humala's 12.565, out of
200,856 overseas votes cast. With only 213 overseas tally
sheets (out of 222 total) left to enter into the computer, it
does not appear that the preference of overseas voters for
Flores will by itself be enough to put her ahead of Garcia.
5. Updated election results can be found at
www.elecciones2006.onpe.gob.pe. (Note: In the website, Actas
Computadas represent the tally sheets accepted and added to
the official count. Actas Procesadas are the tally sheets
which have been entered into the computer, some of which are
later invalidated for various reasons. End Note.)
