This looks like a mess. Peruvian police raids property of former electoral chief amid irregularities in elections So ... Peru has a two-tiered system of electing a President. In the first round, there is a free-for-all, with dozens of candidates. If no one gets 50% + 1, the two top vote getters from that round run against each other in the second. Much like California's Governor's race. The first round took place on April 12th. Various snafus delayed some of the voting until the next day and snafus in the counting since then have been legion.

Give the copy writers some credit. That it may have been just a day's work for some of those inolved does not make it uncreative.
