Decentralization process in Peru has long been a major issue in the government agenda.[citation needed]
A referendum was held on October 30, 2005, to decide whether fifteen of the current twenty-five regions will merge to form five new, larger regions.[1] All citizens who are 18 or older and reside in the affected regions (7'234,321 persons) were entitled to vote.[citation needed]
Voters overwhelmingly opposed the merge, and therefore the regions will stay the way they currently are. Another referendum was scheduled for 2011 or 2012.[citation needed]
Proposed regions
[edit | edit source]These are the new regions that were to be created if the voters had voted in favour of the merge:
- Región Norte: Lambayeque, Piura, Tumbes
- Región Nor Centro Oriente: Ancash, Huánuco, Junín, Lima, Pasco
- Ica-Ayacucho-Huancavelica: Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Ica
- Cusco-Apurímac: Apurímac, Cusco
- Región Sur: Arequipa, Puno, Tacna
