2019 Latvian presidential election
Indirect presidential elections were held in Latvia on 29 May 2019.
Voting system [ edit ]
Before the first round of the presidential election, the political parties represented in the Saeima nominate their candidate.[1]
The president is elected in the first round if they receive the absolute majority of the deputies, i.e. 51 votes out of 100.[1]
In case of failure, another round is organized with the same candidates or different ones, and under the same conditions. If no one is elected, other rounds are held until a candidate receives 51 votes and becomes President of Latvia . The president of the Saeima chairs the electoral college.[1]
Elections [ edit ]
