Parliamentary elections are due to be held in Burundi in 2025.[1]
Electoral system
editThe National Assembly has 100 directly elected members, who are elected in 18 multi-member constituencies (equal to the provinces) using the closed list proportional representation system, with seat allocation decided by the d'Hondt method with a national 2% electoral threshold.[2] A further three members of the Twa ethnic group are appointed, and more members are co-opted to ensure a 60–40 split between Hutus and Tutsis, and a 30% quota for female MPs.[3]
The Senate is elected by colleges of local councillors, with three Twa members appointed and more members co-opted to ensure a 50–50 split between Hutus and Tutsis and a 30% quota for female Senators.[3]
