Presidential elections were held in Iceland on 27 June 2020.[1] Absentee voting opened on 25 May 2020.[2] Incumbent president Guðni Th. Jóhannesson was re-elected with 92% of the vote.
The President of Iceland is elected by first-past-the-post voting,[3] with a simple plurality of votes needed to win.
Incumbent president of Iceland Guðni Th. Jóhannesson announced in his new year's address on 1 January 2020 that he would seek re-election.[4]
Guðmundur Franklín Jónsson, a businessman and activist, announced that he would run for the office of president in a Facebook-live video on 22 April.[5]
Several other persons announced their interest in running for the office, including Axel Pétur Axelsson, a self described social engineer, who was quoted as saying that his first matter of business as president would be to dismiss all members of the Icelandic government.[6] Only the incumbent president Guðni Th. Jóhannesson and challenger Guðmundur Franklín Jónsson gathered the required number of signatures to get on the ballot.[7]
