Map coverage, vote definitions & attribution

Colours show the largest reported party/list vote total in each reporting unit, not elected seats or government formation. Boundaries follow the source crosswalk; these are not necessarily parliamentary constituencies.

These local votes are separate from the IPU national seat archive. Shares use the sum of source-listed party votes, not registered voters. First-preference, list and candidate ballots are distinct. Names and counts are preserved from the published compilation.

3,180 of 3,276 reporting units have source-matched displayable boundaries. Non-geographic ballots, unmatched units and excluded overseas geography remain selectable. A missing boundary never becomes a zero vote or fabricated polygon.

Party colours are preserved from source identity records. Ties, independents and unverified identities use neutral grey. Text abbreviations are not official logos. Display simplification does not create legal boundary documents.

This national seat summary does not include constituency-level results or a riding map. Electoral boundary verification remains pending for this election.

Chambers, official links & source information

Election figures are dated snapshots. Statutory chamber membership and the current electoral-system description come from the chamber profile; they may differ from seats contested at an earlier election. A largest-party result does not establish the governing coalition.

Source note: Note on the statutory number of members: The statutory number of members in the Chamber of Deputies has increased from 330 to 331. This is because the number of seats for minorities has increased from 18 to 19. Note on the minority seats: - If a legally established national minority does not win any seats in either chamber of Parliament, the citizens' organization representing that minority is entitled to one seat in the Chamber of Deputies (under certain conditions). There are 19 legally established national minorities. - In the previous legislature elected in 2020, the Czech and Slovak minorities were represented by one person. There were thus 18 minority representatives in all. - In 2024, the Forum of Czechs in Romania (representing the Czech minority) participated in parliamentary elections for the first time. The Democratic Union of Slovaks and Czechs also participated, with candidates representing the Slovak minority. Two seats were allocated – one for each of the Czech and Slovak minorities. This brings the total number of minority seats to 19.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PARTIES

Party leadership.

10 source-reported records

Each leadership record carries its own date and source. Undated records are not verified for the election date. These names do not identify every constituency candidate or establish who governs; member-party leaders are not automatically a coalition’s joint leaders.
