Peru's election chief Piero Corvetto resigns amid delayed vote count after April 12 election
Piero Corvetto resigned as head of Peru's National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) on Tuesday, citing a desire to restore public confidence ahead of an anticipated June 7 presidential runoff. The April 12 first-round election was marred by logistical issues including ballot delivery delays and extended voting hours.
