Peruvian voters head to the polls on Sunday, in extraordinary legislative elections called after President Martín Vizcarra dissolved Congress last year, when lawmakers repeatedly refused to move forward with anti-corruption reforms. The entire 130 unicameral congress will be renewed on Sunday, and the elected lawmakers will serve for 18 months, until the current legislative term runs out in July 2021. Vizcarra is expected to forge a working relationship with the new congress in order to pass his signature anti-corruption reforms ahead of a general election set for April 2021.
