Parliamentary elections were held in Madagascar on 29 May 2024 to elect the 163 members of the National Assembly. [1]
The 163 members of the National Assembly [2] are elected via a parallel voting system: [3] 87 seats are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting, while the remaining 76 seats are elected in 38 multi-member constituencies (of two seats each) by closed list proportional representation using the highest averages method.
For this election, 12 million people are eligible to vote. [4] More than 450 candidates contested the election. [5]
Issues in the campaign included corruption, infrastructure and the economy. [6]
Voting was held from 06:00 to 17:00 on 29 May. Observers from the African Union and the Southern African Development Community monitored the proceedings. [5] The election was overseen by the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). [7] There was increased security. [8] On 1 June, the Safidy Observatory, the country's largest election monitoring group, raised doubts on the neutrality, impartiality and independence of CENI in its conduct of the vote. [9] The release of the provisional results by CENI was initially scheduled to take place on 8 June, but was postponed to 11 June. [10]
