Parliamentary elections were held in Madagascar on 27 May 2019 to elect the 151 members of the National Assembly.[1] They followed presidential elections held in November and December 2018.

Electoral system

The 151 members of the National Assembly were elected by two methods; 87 were elected from single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting,[2] with the remaining 64 elected from 32 two-seat constituencies.
