The next municipal elections are on Saturday, May 16, 2026.<\/p>\n

Nordic citizens gain the right to vote in local elections when registering to live in a municipality. Other foreign citizens acquire the right to vote after three years of continuous residence in Iceland, provided that other conditions for the right to vote are met.<\/p>\n

We encourage everyone with the right to vote in Iceland to use this right.<\/p>\n
