Parliamentary elections were held in Latvia on 3 October 2026, following the end of the term of the fourteenth Saeima elected in 2022.

Electoral system The 100 members of the Saeima are elected by open list proportional representation from five multi-member constituencies ranging in size from 11 to 38 seats and based on the regions of Latvia, with overseas votes included in the Rīga constituency. Seats are allocated using the Sainte-Laguë method, with a national electoral threshold of 5%.

Voters may cast "specific votes" for candidates on the list for which they have voted. This involves marking a green-colored "FOR" box opposite the candidate's name to indicate preference (positive votes), or marking a red-colored "AGAINST" box opposite the candidate's name to indicate disapproval (negative votes). The mark may be a cross, tick, shading, or similar indication. An unaltered ballot paper may also be placed in the envelope. The number of votes for each candidate is calculated as the number of votes cast for the list, plus the number of positive votes they receive, minus the number of negative votes they receive. The candidates with the highest vote totals fill their party's seats.Electoral system IPU

Seat redistribution The Central Electoral Commission is required to determine the number of Members of Parliament (MPs) to be elected in each constituency based on the number of eligible voters five months before the election. On 7 May 2026, the Central Electoral Commission announced the new distribution of seats among the constituencies. The Rīga constituency gained two seats compared to the 2022 election, while the Kurzeme and Latgale constituencies each lost one seat.
