2027 Palestinian presidential election

Uncommon card · No. 150278

Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Palestine on 11 September 2027 per a decree which was issued in October 2026 by President Mahmoud Abbas. Prior to this, they were most recently scheduled to be held on 31 July 2021 per a presidential decree on 15 January 2021. However, they were subsequently postponed indefinitely. The elections were to follow the legislative elections, which were to take place on 22 May 2021 but were also postponed. Hamas had welcomed the proposed elections, as had the UN and the EU, and a number of countries. Hamas, Fatah, and other groups agreed in 2021 on the "mechanisms" for the elections, including an electoral court and commitments to open voting. The legislative election is also scheduled to be held on the same day.
