# List of political parties in Lithuania

This article lists political parties in Lithuania. Lithuania has a multi-party system with numerous political parties, in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. As of October 2024, there are 22 active political parties, one party undergoing formal registration, one inactive political party, and four political parties that are in the process of disestablishment registered with the Ministry of Justice.
As of October 2024, Lithuania has a total of 98,746 people registered as party members and is experiencing a sharp decline in political congregation, with a 9.76% decrease from the start of public membership tracking in 2018. This is at least partially a result of a low trust in political parties with the institution firmly occupying the top-2 least trusted positions in the country, alongside the Seimas, in opinion polls.
