SALT LAKE CITY — Peruvians living in Utah, Idaho and Montana will have a chance to vote in their home country's presidential election next month at a consulate in Salt Lake City.

The Standard-Examiner of Ogden reports the polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 5 at the Consulate of Peru at Cathedral Church of St. Mark.

The candidates are Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of imprisoned former President Alberto Fujimori, and leftist military man Ollanta Humala.

David Utrilla of South Ogden is honorary consul of Peru in Utah. He thinks up to 25,000 Peruvians live in Utah, with about 2,700 registered to vote back home in Peru.

The consulate also hosted April 9 primary voting.

Voters must present their national identification document with an address within the three states.
