Descrição: This report focuses on Peru's 2018 regional elections. It analyzes the election results from two perspectives. First, it examines how these elections fit the characteristics of second-order elections. Second, it discusses regional movements and their institutionalization. Although the concept of second-order elections expects these elections to have lower turnout and more invalid votes, this has not happened in Peru's regional elections: the number of invalid votes in the regional elections is considerably lower than in national congressional elections. However, the assumption that voters punish the ruling parties and vote for smaller parties in these elections was fulfilled. In the elections, the major national parties completely failed, and regional movements celebrated significant successes, winning 15 of the 25 regions. However, the report shows that successful regional movements are not strongly institutionalized in the regional party systems.
