[South American Overseas Chinese News Network compiled by Mao Boxian report] On October 2, Peru will hold the "2022 regional and local elections" (Elecciones Regionales y Municipales 2022). A recent survey showed that young voters value the candidate's "educational background" and "no prosecutorial record" when voting, and voters who value these two items account for 74% and 70% respectively.

Peru's Peruvian reported on September 28 that Peru's "2022 regional and local elections" will elect the chief/vice governors, mayors, county governors and members of local government committees in various places. The term of office of the personnel elected this time is from 2023 to 2026.

Survey data from the Peru National Election Commission (JNE) shows that in addition to the important "educational background" and "no record of prosecution", young voters have not been ignored, and the proportion of young voters who value this is 59%; the proportion of young voters who value "existing experience in similar positions" is 52%; the proportion of young voters who value "political experience" is 35%; and the proportion of age is 9%.

Survey shows that 70% of young people learn about information through social networks every day, and 60% of them like to obtain political information on " Facebook " ( Facebook ).

According to the survey, it can be seen that setting "youth quota" among the committee candidates has produced very positive effects, allowing more young people to participate in the election. The actual number of young candidates this year accounts for more than 30% of the total number of candidates, which is more than 10% higher than the original quota. However, among actual staff, youth participation remains low.

In addition, almost 3/5 of the youth candidates are women, which makes political parties hopeful to follow the principle of gender equality while ensuring youth participation. However, among the actual staff, 75.2% are male, and there is still a very large gender gap.
