On June 6, the official election campaign will kick off.
Yes, in just two weeks, the official election campaign will begin, meaning that certain financial and advertising restrictions for participants in the upcoming elections will come into effect. On June 20, the Central Election Commission will start accepting lists of parties and associations that will compete for coveted seats in the 15th Saeima. The submission of lists will end on July 5.
It should be noted that the main election day is October 3. However, early voting (casting a vote for safekeeping) will be available on all previous days, starting from September 28! Polling stations will operate during specific hours.
On the morning of October 4, preliminary election results will be announced. The new Saeima will convene for its first session on November 3.
As previously reported, recent public opinion poll results were released. Respondents were asked who they would vote for if the elections to the Saeima were held today. The poll was conducted before Evika Silina's resignation and the nomination of a new candidate for prime minister.
Meanwhile, if we translate the percentages of political forces' ratings into parliamentary mandates, it turns out that "Latvia First" and "Progressives" would each receive 18 mandates, the United List would get 14, "New Unity" would have 13, "Sovereign Power" would receive 12, the Union of Greens and Farmers would get 10, the National Alliance would have 9, and the party "We Change the Rules" would have 6.
We emphasize: this is a very preliminary distribution of seats, not taking into account the latest political changes.
