This research explores the reasons behind spoilt voting in the second round of the Peruvian presidential elections of 2021. Seventeen semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals whose votes were intentionally cast as invalid. The interview delves into the motivations for casting an invalid vote and the associated factors. The findings suggest that respondents cast invalid votes due to political discontent with the supply side during the second-round of the presidential campaign. High perceptions of corruption and political polarization influenced this decision, highlighting decreased political interest. These findings underscore the crisis of legitimacy and political representation in Peru in that context.
