Common card · No. 433789

General elections were held in the Faroe Islands on 26 March 2026 to elect all 33 members of the Løgting. The election took place two days after the Faroe Islands elected two members of the Folketing in the 2026 Danish general election on 24 March. The opposition People's Party led by Beinir Johannesen came out on top, winning a total of 9 seats, up from 6 in the last election, and receiving both their largest vote share since 1950 and the largest vote share of any party since 1990. The ruling coalition Social Democratic Party lost 3 seats – its worst performance since 2011. Sjálvstýri, which had lost its representation in the Løgting for the first time in the previous election, regained a seat.
