Presidential elections were held in Peru on 7 May 1876. Mariano Ignacio Prado of the Civilista Party was elected with 96% of the vote.

## Background

[edit]

Former army general and president Mariano Ignacio Prado, who had served as Secretary of Finance under outgoing president Manuel Pardo, started his election campaign in May 1875.[1]

The ruling Civilista Party initially nominated José Simeón Tejeda [es] as its presidential candidate. However, Tejeda died shortly before the election campaign was due to begin. The party subsequently adopted Prado as its candidate in January 1876.[1]

Prado was opposed by another military figure, Lizardo Montero Flores, who ran as an independent candidate.

## Electoral system

[edit]

The elections were indirect, with the president elected by the same electoral college elected in October 1875 that elected the Congress.[1]

## Conduct

[edit]

The elections were marked by violence.[1]
