Peru's electoral commission chief resigns over chaotic vote
The head of Peru's electoral body resigned from his post Tuesday, hours before he was scheduled to be questioned by prosecutors over the chaotic presidential vote earlier this month.
Peruvians went to the polls on April 12 to choose their ninth president in a decade, with the election dominated by voter anger at a political establishment seen as corrupt.
The election day was marred by major logistical problems in the capital Lima, which prevented tens of thousands of people from voting until the following day.
