The Election Authority says 8,628,119 people may vote in at least one of the parliamentary, regional or municipal elections this autumn.
What happened?
The authority published new figures before election day. Its headline says parliamentary voters exceed eight million for the first time, while 8,628,119 is the total eligible for at least one of the three elections.

Impact and significance
Voting rules differ between elections, so the at-least-one-election total is not automatically the parliamentary electorate. Keeping populations separate prevents misleading comparisons.
Background
Parliamentary, regional and municipal elections are held on the same day. Individual eligibility is determined by election administration records, not this summary.
Latest update
Election day is 13 September 2026; the Election Authority provides the full breakdown by election and geography. This summary is based on the cited public source and reflects the information available when WUA reviewed it on 19 August 2026. It does not replace current instructions from the responsible authority, municipality or organiser. If dates, times, conditions or implementation have changed, the latest information on the original page takes precedence. The headline and text have been editorially rewritten to separate verifiable facts from the source's own assessments. No information outside the cited material has been used to fill gaps; readers should follow the source links for full context. WUA checked the page title, date, location, amounts and status where available, but has not verified matters that the source leaves open, such as final costs, attendance, permits or future results. Time-sensitive details were checked against the source at review, but practical decisions must always rely on the responsible organisation's current notice. WUA does not accept registrations, applications, votes, payments or personal data for the services described and cannot confirm individual eligibility.
