General elections are provisionally scheduled to be held in Seychelles on 27 September 2025. [1] [2]

Electoral system

The president of Seychelles is elected using the two-round system; [3] if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round, a second round is held between the top two candidates.

Members of the National Assembly are elected by two methods; 26 (with a new constituency established in 2020) are elected from single-member constituencies using first-past-the-post voting, and up to a further ten are elected based on the percentage of votes received by each party; for each 10% of the total national vote received, a party gets one additional seat.
