General elections are due to be held in Namibia in 2024.[1]

Electoral system

The President of Namibia is elected using the two-round system; if no candidate receives more than 50% in the first round of voting, a run-off will be held. No previous presidential votes in Namibia have gone to a second round.[2]

The 104 members of the National Assembly consist of 96 elected members and eight (non-voting) members appointed by the President.[3] The 96 elected members are elected by closed list proportional representation from 14 multi-member constituencies based on the regions. Seats are allocated using the largest remainder method.[4]
