General elections are scheduled to be held in Lesotho by October 2027 to elect members of the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament.[1]

Electoral system

The 120 members of the National Assembly are elected using a mixed single vote with seat linkage system for mixed-member proportional representation. Eighty members are elected from single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting, with the remaining 40 elected from a single nationwide constituency as leveling seats, which are allocated to make seat totals reflect the national vote share. Any party winning more seats in the single-member constituencies than their national vote share entitles them to will not be awarded more seats.[2]
