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. ^[3] Two members are elected by the Afro-Colombian community, one by the Indigenous community, one by Colombian expatriates, ^[4] 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. ^[5] Unlike the previous elections in 2018 and 2022, no seats will be reserved for Commons, formerly the disbanded rebel group FARC, in either chamber. ^[6]

Security concerns

On 20 February 2026, the ELN declared a unilateral ceasefire to allow for the holding of the election. ^[7] More than 126,000 law enforcement officers were deployed nationwide to secure the election. ^[8]

Monitoring

The European Union deployed 40 observers to monitor the election. ^[8]

Candidates

More than 3,000 candidates are running for 102 seats in the Senate and 183 seats in the House of Representatives. ^[8]
