Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Colombia on 8 March 2026.

Electoral system

Of the 183 members of the House of Representatives, 162 are elected by proportional representation from 33 multi-member constituencies based on the departments, with seats allocated using the largest remainder method. Two members are elected by the Afro-Colombian community, one by the Indigenous community, one by Colombian expatriates, 16 for the Development Programs with a Territorial Approach (PDET) through the Special Transitory Peace Constituencies (CITREP) as part of the peace agreements with the FARC-EP; and one for the second highest vice-presidential vote. The 103 Senators are elected by two methods; 100 from a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation (with seats allocated using the largest remainder), two from a two-seat constituency for Indigenous communities, and one for the presidential opposition. Unlike the previous elections in 2018 and 2022, no seats will be reserved for Commons, formerly the disbanded rebel group FARC, in either chamber.

Security concerns

On 20 February 2026, the ELN declared a unilateral ceasefire to allow for the holding of the election.
