Defensoría del Pueblo exhorta a Reniec proteger datos personales en padrón para elecciones 2026

The Ombudsman’s Office has denounced the public exposure of sensitive data on the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC) platform, warning that the unrestricted disclosure of addresses and fingerprints violates the Personal Data Protection Law and citizens’ constitutional rights. This situation is exacerbated by the current climate of insecurity, where the visibility of such data could compromise the physical safety of voters. The institution maintains that while electoral transparency is fundamental, it must not override the confidentiality of personal information. It argues that recent legal amendments mandating the inclusion of these details conflict with the technical opinions of the Ministry of Justice, which recommend restricting access to strike a balance between citizen oversight and individual security. This warning is crucial for open data initiatives, as it underscores that transparency should not be imposed at the expense of privacy and security. It advocates for an open data model that prioritizes ethical balance, demonstrating that the protection of sensitive data is an essential condition for ensuring free, secure, and trustworthy electoral processes, rather than an obstacle to accountability.
