Peruvian diaspora in the US faces barriers to political participation due to misinformation and low accessibility, potentially reducing their influence on Peru's economic policy direction. This could affect remittance flows and bilateral economic relations depending on electoral outcomes.
Electoral authorities must strengthen voter communication and combat disinformation campaigns. Peru may need to improve overseas voting infrastructure and accessibility. The election outcome could influence Peru's economic policies, trade relations with the US, and investor confidence in political stability.

Diaspora voting represents significant political leverage in Peru's polarized election between leftist Castillo and conservative Fujimori; US-based Peruvian community's engagement could shift electoral outcomes, reflecting broader Latin American migration patterns and transnational political influence.
Similar to 2016 Brexit and 2020 US elections, diaspora voting and social media disinformation campaigns shape electoral legitimacy; reflects post-2000s trend of external populations influencing home-country politics.
