The Senate of Peru will be the upper house of the Congress of Peru, following the 2026 elections.
The Senate will be made up of 60 directly-elected members who serve a five year term. Their job will be to review and ratifying laws made by the Chamber of Deputies, along with appointing the director of the Central Bank and president of the Court of Auditors.
Members of the Senate are either elected from the entire country as a constituency or from a multi-member constituency, with 30 seats being shared equally for the two options.
