General elections are scheduled to be held in Bangladesh by December 2023 or early 2024.[1][2]
Background[]
The Awami League won the 2018 general elections and formed the government.[3] The tenure of the government lasts five years.[4] Incumbent Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has hinted she does not intend to lead her party, the Awami League, into another election.[5]
Electoral system[]
The 350 members of the Jatiya Sangsad consist of 300 directly elected seats using first-past-the-post voting in single-member constituencies, and an additional 50 seats reserved for women. The reserved seats are elected proportionally by the elected members. Each parliament sits for a five-year term.[6]
