General elections are due to be held in Costa Rica by February 2026.[1]
Electoral system
The president of Costa Rica is elected using a modified two-round system in which a candidate must receive at least 40% of the vote to win in the first round; if no candidate wins in the first round, a runoff is held between the two candidates with most votes.[2]
The 57 members of the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica are elected using closed list proportional representation through the largest remainder method from seven multi-member constituencies with between four and 19 seats, which are based on the seven provinces.[3]
