Parliamentary elections were held in Lithuania on 13 October,[1][2] with a second round to be held on 27 October 2024.[3]

Background

[edit]

The 2020 election was won by the Homeland Union, which formed a coalition with the Liberal Movement and Freedom Party. The Šimonytė Cabinet was appointed by President Gitanas Nausėda on 7 December 2020, after the Seimas approved Ingrida Šimonytė as Prime Minister.[4] On 11 December, the Government program was approved, thus, the cabinet officially took office.[5] Major domestic and foreign events during the term include the COVID-19 pandemic in Lithuania, 2020–2021 Belarusian protests and the Belarus–European Union border crisis, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The 2023 Lithuanian municipal elections were won by the opposition Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, with the Homeland Union at second place, and the Homeland Union candidate Ingrida Šimonytė was defeated by incumbent Gitanas Nausėda in the 2024 Lithuanian presidential election with the largest share of the vote in the history of presidential elections in Lithuania. However, the Homeland Union finished at first place in the 2024 European Parliament election in Lithuania, with the Social Democrats at second place. The Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union, which was the largest party in the Seimas prior to the 2020 parliamentary election, split, with the defectors forming the Union of Democrats "For Lithuania", and finished third in the 2023 municipal and the 2024 European Parliament elections.

Other notable changes in the political landscape since 2020 included the establishment of Dawn of Nemunas, led by presidential candidate Remigijus Žemaitaitis after his expulsion from Freedom and Justice due to his antisemitic statements, which grew in popularity after the 2024 presidential election, as well as the poor performance of the Labour Party, which failed to win a deputy in the European Parliament for the first time since its establishment in 2003, and which was subsequently abandoned by several of the party's members of parliament, which led to the collapse of the party's parliamentary group.[6]

Changes to the constitution and new electoral code

[edit]

After passing amendment of Constitution's article № 56 in April 2022, to be eligible for election, candidates must be at least 21 years old on the election day, not under allegiance to a foreign state and permanently reside in Lithuania,[7] while previously, candidates needed to be at least 25 years old on the election day. Persons serving or due to serve a sentence imposed by the court 65 days before the election are not eligible. Also, judges, citizens performing military service, and servicemen of professional military service and officials of statutory institutions and establishments may not stand for election.[8] In addition, a person who has been removed from office through impeachment may be elected after 10 year period after impeachment.[9][10]

The Electoral Code was adopted on 23 June 2022. The Code replaced various elections' acts and introduced several changes to the parliamentary elections. Firstly, it gave possibility to establish more than one worldwide constituency. Secondly, it removed a ban of political parties' agitation on Saturdays (e. g. one day prior to the election).[11]

President of the Republic Rolandas Paksas Independent 6 April 2004 6 April 2014
Member of Seimas Linas Karalius [lt] National Resurrection Party 11 November 2010 11 November 2020
Member of Seimas Neringa Venckienė The Way of Courage 19 June 2014 19 June 2024

Boundary changes

[edit]

In 2023, single-member constituencies were redrawn. Most boundary changes took part in Klaipėda, Kaunas, Vilnius and their suburbs.[12][13]

LLRA–KŠS accused some boundary changes as being an attempt of "artificial dilution of the minority electorate".[14]

Electoral system

[edit]
Main article: Elections in Lithuania

The Seimas has 141 members, elected to a four-year term in parallel voting, with 71 members elected in single-seat constituencies using the two-round system and 70 members elected by proportional representation.[8] The voting in the elections is open to all citizens of Lithuania who are at least 18 years old.

Parliament members in the 71 single-seat constituencies are elected in a majority vote; or per a new provision instituted in 2022, a leading candidate in a constituency is directly elected if they receive the support of one fifth of registered voters.[15] A run-off is held within 15 days, if necessary. The remaining 70 seats are allocated to the participating political parties using the largest remainder method. Parties normally need to receive at least 5% (7% for multi-party electoral lists) of the votes to be eligible for a seat. Candidates take the seats allocated to their parties based on the preference lists submitted before the election and adjusted by preference votes given by the voters.[8]

For the 2024 election, around 2.4 million people are eligible to vote.[16]

Campaign

[18] Three parties, Together with the Vytis, Movement for Forests - Young Lithuania and Christian Union, withdrew from the race on their own accord.[19][20][21] On 9 August 2024, 15 different electoral lists were registered. 1,742 candidates will participate in the elections: 1,091 men and 651 women.[22]
