Fewer Lists Submitted for 15th Saeima Elections Than in Previous Elections
On Sunday, July 5, the submission of candidate lists for the 15th Saeima elections ends. Fourteen lists have been submitted, fewer than four years ago, and the total number of candidates is also lower.
The deadline for submitting candidate lists for the upcoming 15th Saeima elections, which are less than three months away, concludes on Sunday, July 5. This year, 14 lists have been submitted, a decrease compared to the previous elections four years ago. The total number of candidates has also dropped. This raises questions about competition per parliamentary seat and which electoral districts will see the highest level of rivalry. Further details will be available after the official registration process is completed.
