An alleged screenshot of the El Comercio Instagram account about the elimination of fines for people who will not pay this Sunday is circulating on social networks. We want to inform our readers and the general audience that El Comercio has not published notes on an alleged elimination of fines for not voting in these 2021 elections.
So did the National Office of Electoral Processes today in your official account Twitter. This entity has not considered the elimination of fines anywhere in the country.
This is one #FALSENOTICE, @elcomercio_peru has not published it! We have not considered the elimination of fines anywhere in the country. If you see it on WhatsApp, here we show you how to report it: https: //t.co/NxFImvr3bJ pic.twitter.com/pQe2kPuPco
