Peru's next president is being chosen from a pool of 35 candidates that includes a former minister, a comedian and a political dynasty heiress.
The winner of Sunday's election will be the country's ninth president in 10 years.
Rising crime and corruption have led to voter discontent.
Candidates propose solutions like megaprisons and the death penalty.
Voting is mandatory for Peruvians aged 18 to 70.
A runoff is likely.
Keiko Fujimori, Rafael López Aliaga, and Carlos Álvarez are notable candidates.
Voters are also electing a bicameral Congress, which could make presidential impeachment easier.
