Parliamentary elections were held in Algeria on 2 July 2026.
Background The 2021 parliamentary elections saw voter boycotts and low turnout, with the FLN winning a plurality of seats. Abdelmadjid Tebboune was also re-elected for a second term as the president of Algeria in the 2024 presidential election.
Algeria went through two separate diplomatic rows in 2025: The first with the Alliance of Sahel States over the downing of a Malian drone on 31 March near Tin Zaouatine, and the second with France relating to the expulsion of French officials following the arrest of an Algerian consular official. A second set of French diplomats were expelled in May 2025 after Algeria accused France of breaking procedures relating to the appointments of the new officials.
In March 2026, during the month of Ramadan, Algerians struggled with a cost-of-living crisis, with violence breaking out in marketplaces and families struggling to afford rising food prices due to the depreciation of the dinar.
Electoral system Algeria has a bicameral parliament of which the People's National Assembly is the lower house. This is made up of 407 seats filled by proportional representation in 77 constituencies. These consist of the 69 provinces (wilayas) of the country and eight electoral zones representing the diaspora. Each constituency is allocated a number of seats according to its population: one seat per segment of 120,000 inhabitants, plus one seat for any remaining segment of 60,000 inhabitants, with a minimum of three seats per constituency. The lists are open, with preferential voting, without mixing, and an electoral threshold of 5% of the votes cast, and after counting of the votes, the distribution of seats is done according to the method known as "the strongest remainder".
