General elections will be held in Uruguay on Sunday 27 October 2024. If no presidential candidate receives a majority in the first round of voting, a runoff will take place on Sunday 24 November 2024.

Background[]

Incumbent President Luis Lacalle Pou, who won the 2019 elections, cannot run again as the Constitution bars a president from immediate reelection. As a result, the governing National Party has to nominate a new candidate.

Electoral system[]

The President of Uruguay is elected using the two-round system, with a run-off held if no candidate receives 50% of the vote in the first round. The 30 members of the Senate are elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency.. The vice president, elected on the same ballot as the president, become president of the Senate, with his vote being determining in case of tie[1] The 99 members of the Chamber of Representatives are elected by proportional representation in 19 multi-member constituencies based on the departments. Seats are allocated using the highest averages method.[2]

The elections are held using the double simultaneous vote method, whereby voters cast a single vote for the party of their choice for all three of the Presidency, the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives.

Candidates[]

Presidential primaries will be held in April or June to select the candidates. So far, the politicians with highest stakes of taking part in this process are as follows:
