The previous presidential elections on 27 June 2020 saw incumbent president Guðni Th. Jóhannesson re-elected for a second four-year term with 92% of the vote, over Guðmundur Franklín Jónsson.[5] The office of President is not term-limited; however, despite being eligible to serve a third term, Guðni announced in his New Year's address to the Icelandic people on 1 January 2024 that he would not stand for re-election again.[6]

The President of Iceland is directly elected by first-past-the-post voting, with a simple plurality of votes needed to win.[7] Candidates must be Icelandic citizens and at least 35 years of age on election day.[8]
On election day, polling opened at 09:00 and ran until 22:00.[9]
