Parliamentary elections will be held in Kosovo no later than 2025. If the full four year term of the incumbent Assembly is completed, the election will be held on a Sunday and not earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days before the end of the mandate.[1]
The Constitution and the Law on General Elections provide that parliamentary elections must be held on a Sunday no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days before the end of the four-year mandate of the Assembly, unless it is dissolved earlier.[4] The 8th and current Legislature of the Assembly was constituted on 22 March 2021. Therefore, the next election has to take place on one of the following possible dates:
26 January 2025
2 February 2025
9 February 2025
16 February 2025
The exact date will be determined by the president no earlier than 6 months and no later than 4 months before the date of the election. Parliamentary elections can be held earlier under four scenarios described by the constitution.
If the Government cannot be formed within the period of sixty (60) days from the date of appointment of the candidate for Prime Minister by the President of the Republic of Kosovo;
If two-thirds (2/3) of all deputies vote for the dissolution of the Assembly, the dissolution is done by decree of the President of the Republic of Kosovo;
If within the period of sixty (60) days from the day of the start of the election procedure, the President of the Republic of Kosovo is not elected.
In case of a successful vote of no confidence in the Government, The Assembly can be dissolved by the President of the Republic of Kosovo.[5]
In all cases, parliamentary elections would have to take place on a Sunday no earlier than 30 days and no later than 45 days after the dissolution.[5]
