Parliamentary elections were held in South Ossetia on 9 June 2019. ^[1]

The ruling United Ossetia party lost its majority in parliament. Only three other elected members guaranteed their support if United Ossetia was to form a government, leaving it one seat short of a majority. ^[2]

Electoral system

A new electoral system was introduced prior to the elections, introducing a mixed electoral system, with 17 of the 34 seats elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency, and the other 17 elected by first-past-the-post voting in single member constituencies. Between 2004 and 2014, all seats were elected by proportional representation. ^[2]
