General elections will take place in Uruguay in October 2019. If no presidential candidate receives a majority in the first round of voting, a runoff will take place in November 2019.
Background
Since incumbent President Tabaré Vázquez, who won the 2014 election, is ineligible to run due to constitutional term limits, the government party must choose a new candidate.
Electoral system
The President of Uruguay is elected using the two-round system, with a run-off held if no candidate receives 50% of the vote in the first round. The 30 members of the Senate are elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency.[1] The 99 members of the Chamber of Representatives are elected by proportional representation in 19 multi-member constituencies based on the departments. Seats are allocated using the highest averages method.[2]
The elections are held using the double simultaneous vote method, whereby voters cast a single vote for the party of their choice for all three of the Presidency, the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives.
Candidacies
In June 2019 will be held the primaries to select the candidates.
