General elections are scheduled to be held in Nepal no later than 2031 to elect the 275 members of the House of Representatives.
Voters cast in two separate ballots in the election: one to elect 165 members from single-member constituencies via FPTP, and the other to elect the remaining 110 members from a single nationwide constituency via party-list proportional representation, as mentioned in article 84 of the Constitution of Nepal.[1]
The Rastriya Swatantra Party, with Balen Shah as their candidate for prime minister, won a landslide victory in the 2026 general election, winning 182 seats, an almost supermajority, and the second-best showing in Nepal's electoral history, only surpassed by the Nepali Congress in the 1959 elections. The party's proportional vote share of 47.8% was the highest recorded since the system was introduced in 2008.
