    estimate
    LEPP art. 236: polls close at 18:00 local (UTC-6 with no DST, so 00:00 UTC). In 2023 the runoff TREP page opened 'a partir de las 18:00 horas (Hora Local) del día 20 de agosto de 2023' (trep.gt notice). The end of the window, end of 23 Aug local, is our estimate.

    precedent
    The TSE declares the validity of the presidential election and the winning ticket in a single resolution (LEPP art. 209), open to a nullity appeal (arts. 246-247) and to amparo (art. 248). 2023 precedent: runoff 20 Aug; the TSE declared the result on 28 Aug 2023, day 8 (France 24, 29 Aug 2023). Challenges went on after that: in Dec 2023 the Public Ministry called the election 'null and void' and the TSE answered that the results were 'validated, formalized and unchangeable' (France 24, 8 Dec 2023); the 2023 first-round declaration had been held up by a Constitutional Court amparo (Prensa Libre, 2 Jul 2023). To err late the window closes at the end of 11 Sep 2027 local, day 20. The new term starts 14 Jan 2028 (Prensa Libre, 24 Jan 2026).
