Parliamentary elections are due to be held in Cape Verde in 2026.
The 72 members of the National Assembly are elected from 13 multi-member constituencies ranging in size from 2 to 15 seats. Three of the 13 multi-member constituencies are for diaspora voters in Africa, the Americas and Europe. The elections are held using closed list proportional representation, with seats allocated using the d'Hondt method.[1]
