The next Colombian parliamentary elections are scheduled for 11 March 2018 and will see the 102 members of the Senate and 166 members of the House of Representatives elected.

Electoral system

The 166 members of the House are elected by proportional representation from 33 multi-member constituencies based on the departments. Seats are allocated using the largest remainder method.[1] The 102 Senators are elected by two methods; 100 from a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation (with seats allocated using the largest remainder) and two from a two-seat constituency for indigenous Colombians.[2]

However, this is subject to change as FARC members are set to be given seats under the Colombian peace process.[3]
