General elections are scheduled to be held inAngola by August 2027.[1]
The 220 members of theNational Assembly are elected by two methods: 90 are elected in 18 five-seat constituencies, using thed'Hondt method, while the remaining 130 are selected byproportional representation usingclosed lists, allocated proportionally to the nationwide results.[2][3] Voters must be at least 18 years old and not have an undischarged bankruptcy, criminal conviction, dual citizenship or have been declared insane. Candidates must be at least 35 years old.[2]
Each party nominates a candidate forPresident of Angola, who is bothhead of state andhead of government, as the first entry on their list. The president is elected bydouble simultaneous vote – each vote for a party is automatically a vote for their nominee as president, who must be clearly stated on the ballot paper. The presidential candidate of the party receiving the most votes (first-past-the-post) is elected president, for the same term as the assembly. The president may serve a maximum of two terms in accordance with the2010 constitution.[4][5]
