The registration lookup is the TSE form to check your data on the electoral roll database. The TSE menu calls it «Consulta de Empadronamiento», although the web address says consulta-de-afiliacion.

Summary: It is free. The form asks for your DPI/CUI (or ballot number), date of birth and a verification code, and expires after 120 seconds. The roll is public (LEPP, Art. 225). Registration is suspended three months before the election (LEPP Regulation, Art. 6), so check early.

This lookup does not change anything in your registration. Registering, moving your residence or correcting data are separate procedures.

What is the electoral roll?

Under Article 224 of the LEPP, a municipal electoral roll is built from the citizens living in each municipality who registered with the Citizens Registry. The TSE Citizens Registry prepares it from registration data and must keep it updated. Article 225 says the roll is public and that registering, removing and transferring citizens is done at no cost.

To be on the roll and vote:

  • You must be registered with the Citizens Registry (LEPP, Art. 8), a personal procedure with your DPI (Regulation, Art. 4).
  • People on active duty in the Army or police forces, and people whose citizen rights are suspended or who lost citizenship, cannot vote (LEPP, Art. 15).
  • On election day you identify yourself with your DPI, the only valid document before the voting table (Regulation, Art. 7).

2027 elections: TSE preliminary dates

Updated 30 September 2026. In June 2026 the TSE presented a preliminary timetable for the 2027 General Elections and Central American Parliament election to political organisations (TSE note dated 3 July 2026). The TSE itself says the timetable is preliminary because it must be officially approved by the full bench of magistrates through the decree calling the elections.

The closing rule is in Article 6 of the LEPP Regulation: three months before the election, registration of citizens living in the municipalities where the vote is held is suspended. Article 224 of the LEPP also says the roll closes 120 days before general elections. According to Agencia Ocote, 10,200,659 people were registered as of 25 August 2026.

If you moved to another municipality, the deadline is different. Article 5 of the LEPP Regulation (amended by TSE Agreement 600-2022) requires a move to another municipality to be declared to the Citizens Registry «como mínimo, un año antes de la convocatoria a elecciones generales» (at least one year before the call for general elections). A later notice only takes effect on the new municipality’s roll after the election, and you vote in the previous municipality. For 2027, the TSE closed that phase on 22 January 2026. For Guatemalans living abroad, the TSE portal cites a different rule, Agreement 7-2022: the residence update must be done no less than three months before the first presidential election.

What you need to look yourself up

The form the TSE links from its Citizens Registry section asks for (checked 29 September 2026):

  • Document type: ballot number or DPI (13-digit CUI)
  • Date of birth as dd/mm/yyyy
  • Verification code (an image you can refresh)
  • The form is valid for 120 seconds

It does not ask for an account or password.

Step by step — online lookup

  1. Open the TSE registration lookup.
  2. Choose the document type: DPI (13-digit CUI) or ballot number.
  3. Enter your date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy) and the verification code.
  4. Press Buscar before the 120 seconds run out.

If you do not appear or your data is wrong

  • You do not appear: register at a Citizens Registry delegation or sub-delegation with your DPI (LEPP Regulation, Art. 4). See TSE Voter Registration.
  • Wrong data: Article 6 Bis of the Regulation makes citizens responsible for keeping their data updated and requesting corrections, in person or through the TSE website. Requests and challenges about registration or the roll are decided by the Director General of the Citizens Registry (LEPP, Art. 226).
  • You moved municipality: see TSE Electoral Address Change.

Before election day

Article 224 of the LEPP requires the TSE to tell political organisations, no less than ninety days before the election, where the voting tables will be; that information is public and Citizens Registry delegations and sub-delegations must have it available.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing CUI with NIT: the CUI is the 13 digits of the DPI; the NIT is your SAT tax ID. See CUI / NIT lookup.
  • Letting the form expire: it lasts 120 seconds; have your document and date ready before opening it.
  • Waiting for the last months: registration is suspended three months before the election (LEPP Regulation, Art. 6).

Note (updated 29 September 2026): the Portal Web TSE help page (ayudaportalweb.tse.org.gt) shows an undated notice: in response to a wave of cyber attacks on state institutions, the TSE temporarily suspended its electronic services. The TSE registration lookup form did load that day. If a service is offline, go to the nearest TSE delegation or call 1580.
