Election Snapshot Elections in Armenia: National Assembly Elections

On June 7, 2026, Armenia will hold its first regular National Assembly elections since 2017, following two snap elections held after major political and security crises in 2018 and 2021. The June 7 elections are an important test of Armenia’s ability to consolidate its democratic gains since 2018 while managing intense polarization and complex security challenges. They will determine the composition of the National Assembly that will guide the country’s domestic reforms, foreign policy alignment, implementation of any peace arrangements with Azerbaijan and normalization steps with Turkey over the next five years. The elections will also test Armenia’s electoral institutions and legal safeguards, including the effectiveness of measures against the misuse of administrative resources, opacity in campaign finance, foreign information manipulation and interference and hate speech in political discourse.
