2025 Algerian Council of the Nation election

Council of the Nation consists of 174 members, half of which are renewed every three years for six-year terms. Of this total, two-thirds or 116 seats are elected by indirect first-past-the-post vote in one round by an electoral college composed of members of wilaya assemblies and communal assemblies in 58 electoral districts based on the boundaries of the wilayas, with two seats per wilaya. Candidates must be at least thirty-five years old, and be members of these assemblies, which totals approximately 15,000 elected representatives. The remaining third (58 seats) are appointed by the president based on their scientific, cultural, professional, economic and social skills.
