Parliamentary elections were held in Lithuania on 13 and 27 October 2024 to elect the 141 members of the Seimas. Parliament members were elected in 71 single-member constituencies using the two-round system, and the remaining 70 in a single nationwide constituency using proportional representation. The first round was held on 13 October and the second round on 27 October.[1][2][3]

The elections were won by the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (LSDP),[4] which secured 19.32% of the popular vote and 52 seats, up from 9.58% and 13 seats in the previous elections in 2020. The Homeland Union (TS–LKD), the largest party in the ruling centre-right coalition in the preceding Seimas, finished a distant second, securing 28 seats, down from its previous 50.

Following the election, the Social Democrats entered into coalition talks with the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union (LVŽS) and the new party Union of Democrats "For Lithuania" (DSVL), which split from the latter. The Liberals' Movement (LS), which was part of the previous conservative-led coalition, and Dawn of Nemunas (PPNA), a new nationalist party that came in third place overall, have also argued for their potential place in a new centre-left coalition.[5]

Background

[edit]

The 2020 election was won by the Homeland Union, which formed a coalition with the Liberal Movement and Freedom Party. The Šimonytė Cabinet was appointed by President Gitanas Nausėda on 7 December 2020, after the Seimas approved Ingrida Šimonytė as Prime Minister.[6] On 11 December, the Government program was approved, thus the cabinet officially took office.[7] Major domestic and foreign events during the term include the COVID-19 pandemic in Lithuania, 2020–2021 Belarusian protests and the Belarus–European Union border crisis and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The 2023 Lithuanian municipal elections were won by the opposition Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, with the Homeland Union at second place, and the Homeland Union candidate Ingrida Šimonytė was defeated by incumbent Gitanas Nausėda in the 2024 Lithuanian presidential election with the largest share of the vote in the history of presidential elections in Lithuania. However, the Homeland Union finished at first place in the 2024 European Parliament election in Lithuania, with the Social Democrats at second place. The Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union, which was the largest party in the Seimas prior to the 2020 parliamentary election, split, with the defectors forming the Union of Democrats "For Lithuania", and finished third in the 2023 municipal and the 2024 European Parliament elections.

Other notable changes in the political landscape since 2020 included the establishment of Dawn of Nemunas, led by presidential candidate Remigijus Žemaitaitis after his expulsion from Freedom and Justice due to his antisemitic statements, which grew in popularity after the 2024 presidential election, as well as the poor performance of the Labour Party, which failed to win a deputy in the European Parliament for the first time since its establishment in 2003, and which was subsequently abandoned by several of the party's members of parliament, which led to the collapse of the party's parliamentary group.[8]

Electoral seat allocation

[edit]

There were 1740 candidates running for seats in the parliament, including 8 mayors, 4 MEPs and 128 current members of the Seimas.[9] Additionally, 700 politicians vied for seats in 71 single-mandate constituencies.[9]

Half of the seats in the 141-member parliament are allocated to party lists that will clear the 5-percent threshold.[9]

Changes to the constitution and new electoral code

[edit]

After passing amendment of Constitution's article № 56 in April 2022, to be eligible for election, candidates must be at least 21 years old on the election day, not under allegiance to a foreign state and permanently reside in Lithuania,[10] while previously, candidates needed to be at least 25 years old on the election day. Persons serving or due to serve a sentence imposed by the court 65 days before the election are not eligible. Also, judges, citizens performing military service, and servicemen of professional military service and officials of statutory institutions and establishments may not run for election.[11] In addition, a person who has been removed from office through impeachment may be elected after 10 year period after impeachment.[12][13]

The Electoral Code was adopted on 23 June 2022. The Code replaced various elections' acts and introduced several changes to the parliamentary elections. Firstly, it gave possibility to establish more than one worldwide constituency. Secondly, it removed a ban of political parties' agitation on Saturdays (e. g. one day prior to the election).[14]

Boundary changes

[edit]

In 2023, single-member constituencies were redrawn. Most boundary changes happened in Klaipėda, Kaunas, Vilnius and their suburbs.[15][16]

LLRA–KŠS accused some boundary changes as being an attempt of "artificial dilution of the minority electorate".[17]

Electoral system

[edit]
Main article: Elections in Lithuania

The Seimas has 141 members, elected to a four-year term in parallel voting, with 71 members elected in single-seat constituencies using the two-round system and 70 members elected by proportional representation.[11] The voting in the elections is open to all citizens of Lithuania who are at least 18 years old.

Parliament members in the 71 single-seat constituencies are elected in a majority vote; or per a new provision instituted in 2022, a leading candidate in a constituency is directly elected if they receive the support of one fifth of registered voters.[18] A run-off is held within 15 days, if necessary. The remaining 70 seats are allocated to the participating political parties using the largest remainder method. Parties normally need to receive at least 5% (7% for multi-party electoral lists) of the votes to be eligible for a seat. Candidates take the seats allocated to their parties based on the preference lists submitted before the election and adjusted by preference votes given by the voters.[11]

For the 2024 election, around 2.4 million people are eligible to vote.[19]

Campaign

[edit]

Announcement

[edit]

On 9 April 2024 the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, officially announced 13 October 2024 as the election date. The announcement launched the election campaign, allowing the potential participants to register for the elections, raise funds and campaign in public.[20]

Participating parties

[edit]

The following is a list of parties which are registered as participants in the election by the Central Election Commission. 23 political parties were eligible to participate in the elections, having submitted their membership rolls before 10 April 2024, in compliance with legal requirements. 20 political parties registered for the elections before the deadline on 22 July 2024. [21] Three parties, Together with the Vytis, Movement for Forests – Young Lithuania and Christian Union, withdrew from the race on their own accord.[22][23][24] On 9 August 2024, 15 different electoral lists were registered. 1,740 candidates participated in the elections: 1,089 men and 651 women.[25]

Party representives drew their ballot numbers in a ceremony in Seimas Palace on 19 August 2024. Number of the People and Justice Union was drawn by the representative of the CEC, due to members failure to participate in the event.[26]

Aftermath

[edit]
2024 Lithuanian parliamentary election map by electoral district (multi-mandate)
Legend:
      – Social Democratic Party of Lithuania
      – Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats
      – Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania – Christian Families Alliance
      – Dawn of Nemunas

On the night of 14 October, Vilija Blinkevičiūtė and Saulius Skvernelis, the leaders of the LSDP and the DSVL respectively, agreed to cooperate in the second round and to form a coalition government afterwards.[55] LVŽS joined the agreement on 15 October.[56] Despite the LSDP ruling out coalition with the PPNA,[57] the latter party pledged to support Blinkevičiūtė becoming prime minister.[58]

On 30 October, Blinkevičiūtė confirmed that she will not be prime minister and will continue to work as a member of the European Parliament, citing her age and health. Gintautas Paluckas became a candidate for prime minister.[52]

On the day after the second round of the election, Gabrielius Landsbergis announced his resignation as leader of the Homeland Union and as member of the next Seimas. He endorsed Ingrida Šimonytė, the outgoing Prime Minister, for the party leadership. Landsbergis also lost in the Centras-Žaliakalnis single-member constituency, which he represented since 2016, to Simonas Kairys of the Liberals' Movement and fellow member of the Šimonytė Cabinet.[53] Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė became interim leader of the party.[59]

After the second round of the election, various parties lost all their seats in the Seimas, including the Labour Party and the Lithuanian Regions Party. On the other hand, the LSDP won 52 seats, its best ever result. It also won single-member constituencies in Kaunas for the first time since 1992.[60]

On 3 November, Aušrinė Armonaitė announced her resignation as leader of the Freedom Party after it failed to win any seats.[61]

Due to the election of Rimantas Sinkevičius, the council of the Jonava District Municipality would have to find a second mayor pro tempore to serve the position until the March 2025 special mayoral election to replace removed Mayor (and son of Rimantas Sinkevičius) Mindaugas Sinkevičius.[62]
