ALGIERS — Algeria will hold elections for the People's National Assembly on July 2, 2026. Voters will elect 407 members to the assembly.

More than 24.7 million registered voters are eligible to participate in the election, including approximately 854,000 eligible voters residing abroad. The official campaign period for the election started on June 12, 2026.

President Abdelmadjid Tebboune referred to the vote as part of building a "new Algeria" following the 2019 uprising. He stated that the Hirak movement "saved Algeria from collapse." Tebboune urged citizens to vote to reinforce institutional legitimacy.

Electoral authorities reported that hundreds of candidates and multiple party lists were rejected during nomination reviews. The authorities cited eligibility rules and legal compliance requirements for these rejections. Algerian authorities stated that reforms have expanded political participation while safeguarding stability.

In 2019, Abdelaziz Bouteflika was removed from the presidency after mass protests. Since 2019, opposition figure Karim Tabbou has faced repeated arrests.

Algerians will vote under an open-list proportional representation system, which allows voters to choose party lists and express preferences for individual candidates. The National Liberation Front (FLN) is a governing party, and the National Democratic Rally (RND) is a pro-government ally of the FLN. The FLN previously held 105 of the 407 seats in the outgoing parliament. The Movement of Society for Peace (MSP) is an opposition party competing in the election.

The Socialist Forces Front (FFS), the Workers' Party (PT), and the Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD) are also participating in the 2026 election. These three parties boycotted the 2021 vote, which saw a turnout of 23 percent. Hydrocarbon revenues are the dominant source of Algeria's exports, and the government has noted spending programs and infrastructure investment largely funded by these revenues.
