Parliamentary elections are due to be held in Iceland on or before 29 October 2020.

Electoral system

The 63 members of the Althing are elected using closed list proportional representation in multi-member constituencies of 8 to 13 seats.[1] Of the 63 seats, 54 are elected using constituency results and determined using the d'Hondt method. The remaining nine supplementary seats are awarded to parties that crossed the 5% national electoral threshold in order to give them a total number of seats equivalent to their national share of the vote.[1]
