| Constitution and law |
Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Kosovo on 7 June 2026. The elections follow a constitutional crisis triggered by the Assembly's failure to elect a president.[1]
After an unsuccessful vote on 5 March 2026, President Vjosa Osmani issued a decree dissolving the Assembly.[2] The decree was challenged by Vetëvendosje before the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, which suspended it on 9 March.[3]
On 25 March, the Court ruled that the dissolution had no legal effect and gave the Assembly 34 days to elect a president.[4] After the Assembly failed to do so by 28 April, it was dissolved in accordance with the Court's decision, and acting president Albulena Haxhiu set 7 June 2026 as the date for new parliamentary elections.[5]
Electoral system
[edit]The 120 members of the Assembly are elected by open list proportional representation for a four-year term, with 20 reserved for national minorities.[6][7] Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method with an electoral threshold of 5%.[8]
