# Next Nepalese general election

General elections are to be held in Nepal before November 2027 to elect the 275 members of the House of Representatives unless dissolved earlier. There remains two ballots in the election; one to elect 165 members from single-member constituencies via FPTP, and the other to elect the remaining 110 members from a single nation-wide constituency via party-list proportional representation.
The provincial elections are expected to be held along with the general elections.

## Electoral system

The 275 members of the legislature are elected by two methods; 165 are elected from single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting and 110 seats are elected by closed list proportional representation from a single nationwide constituency. Voters receive separate ballot papers for the two methods. A party or electoral alliance has to pass the election threshold of 3% of the overall valid vote to be allocated a seat in the proportional vote. Nepal uses the Webster method to allocate proportional seats.
Voting is limited to Nepali citizens aged 18 or over of sound mind and not having been declared ineligible under federal election fraud and punishment laws.

### Eligibility to vote

To vote in the general election, one must be:
* on the electoral roll
* aged 18 or over on 19 December 2022
* a citizen of Nepal
* of sound mind
* not ineligible as per federal election fraud and punishment laws
