2024 Botswana general election

General elections will be held in Botswana in 2024 to determine the composition of the 13th Parliament of Botswana as well as local councils across the country. Up for election are 61 seats of the unicameral National Assembly as well as 490 local council seats, all elected through the first-past-the-post voting system. Ever since the first election in 1965, the Botswana Democratic Party has held a majority of seats in the National Assembly and thus governed alone for 57 years without interruption, making Botswana a dominant-party system.
