Legislative and municipal elections are scheduled to be held in El Salvador on 28 February 2027, three years after the 2024 legislative election. Salvadorans will elect all 60 members of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador and all members of the country's 44 municipal councils. The election will occur with concurrent presidential elections. As of February 2026, eleven political parties are eligible to participate in the election.

Political background

[edit]

Nuevas Ideas, the political party of Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele, won the 2024 legislative election in a landslide victory, winning 54 of the Legislative Assembly's 60 seats.[1]: 360  Nuevas Ideas and allied parties also won 43 of the country's 44 municipalities and 16 of El Salvador's 20 seats in the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN).[2] The members of the 14th Legislative Assembly and the 44 municipal councils assumed office on 1 May 2024.[3][4]

Electoral reforms

[edit]

On 31 July 2025, the Legislative Assembly voted to reform the constitution of El Salvador. One of the reforms included El Salvador's withdrawal from PARLACEN, describing it as an "inefficient waste" ("gasto ineficiente"). Due to this withdrawal, El Salvador will not elect members to PARLACEN in 2027.[5] Another reform moved the date of the 2029 presidential election to 2027 and extended presidential terms to six years. This reform made it so future presidential and legislative elections will occur in concurrence with each other instead of being staggered.[6]

On 29 April 2026, Bukele proposed a constitutional reform to give Salvadorans expatriates representation in the Legislative Assembly. As of that date, there were 944,684 Salvadorans abroad registered to vote.[7] Since the approval of an expatriate voting law in 2022, votes from Salvadoran expatriates were counted to the legislative seats of the San Salvador Department.[8] The reform was approved by the Legislative Assembly on 29 April[9] and was ratified on 7 May. In total, 6 seats were allocated to the overseas constituency but the legislature's 60-seat composition was not affected as one seat was taken from La Libertad and five were taken from San Salvador.[10] The Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) stated that it would implement the reforms ahead of the 2027 election.[11]

Manuel Flores, the secretary-general of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), stated that the party anticipated the overseas constituency reform and that it was ready to nominate candidates.[12] Ronal Umaña, the founder of the Cambio Total political party, criticized the reform and accused the Legislative Assembly of taking seats away from Salvadorans. He also claimed that all seats would go to Nuevas Ideas.[13] Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) deputy Marcela Villatoro criticized the removal of seats from La Libertad and San Salvador as those departments have the highest levels of migration.[14]

In February 2025, the TSE announced that it had scheduled the 2027 legislative and municipal elections to occur on 28 February 2027.[2][15] Salvadorans outside of the country will be able to vote online from 30 January to 28 February.[16] As of 6 March 2026, there are 6,477,745 registered voters, of which, 5,533,061 reside in the country and live 944,684 abroad.[17]

All legislative candidates must be Salvadoran citizens by birth and be at least 25 years old.[18]: 273  Members of the Legislative Assembly will be elected via the D'Hondt method.[19] On 2 December 2025, the Legislative Assembly approved a US$172.1 million budget for the 2027 election.[20]

Political parties

[edit]

Political parties must be registered with the TSE in order to participate in the 2027 legislative and municipal elections. As of February 2026, eleven political parties are eligible to participate in the election.[21] New political parties have until 4 April to petition the TSE for registration and until 31 August to be fully registered.[17]

Candidates

[edit]

Since the 2024 election, one mayor from Nuevas Ideas has been expelled from the party.[23]

Election campaign

[edit]

Political parties have until 7 April 2026 to convoke their legislative and municipal primary elections and until 29 July to hold them.[17] The parties will then have until 19 November to register their legislative and municipal candidates with the TSE.[24] Citizen Action, a non-governmental organization, will monitor the primary elections.[25] Days after the deadline to convoke primary elections, Citizen Action reported that no political party published its full list of requirements for candidates to participate in their primaries.[26] The official campaigning period sanctioned by the TSE will span from 27 October 2026 to 24 February 2027.[27]

Nuevas Ideas

[edit]

In February 2026, Ernesto Castro, the president of the Legislative Assembly, stated that the opposition winning 16 seats in the Legislative Assembly would "cause instability" ("causar inestabilidad")[28] and "dismantle the state of exception" ("desmantelar el régimen").[29] Later that month, Castro announced that he will run for re-election to the Legislative Assembly[30] and that Nuevas Ideas aimed to win all 60 seats in the Legislative Assembly.[31] Castro has not ruled out forming coalitions with other parties.[32]

Nuevas Ideas will hold its legislative and municipal primary elections on 12 July.[33] William Soriano, a deputy from La Unión, confirmed that he is seeking re-election in 2027, adding that he will not campaign due to his confidence that he will win re-election.[34]

Nationalist Republican Alliance

[edit]

In September 2025, ARENA party president Carlos García Saade confirmed that ARENA will participate in the 2027 election.[35] In a February 2026 interview with Encuentro TV, Saade said that El Salvador needs a "balance of power" ("balance de poder") in the Legislative Assembly.[28] He also stated that ARENA would not vote to free gang members arrested during the Salvadoran gang crackdown.[29] Saade announced that the party eliminated a requirement for deputy candidates needing to be a member of ARENA for 5 years to run.[28] Joel Sánchez, ARENA's 2024 presidential candidate, remarked on the Las Cosas Como Son show that he believed the opposition could win an additional seat in the Legislative Assembly.[36]

In January 2026, ARENA deputy Marcella Villatoro announced that the party has compiled its list of candidates for the Legislative Assembly from the San Salvador Department.[37] Villatoro stated that ARENA expects to win "the largest possible number" ("el mayor número posible") of seats in the Legislative Assembly.[38] On 13 February 2026, Milagro Navas announced that she will run for re-election as Mayor of La Libertad Este. She is ARENA's only mayor and the only one of El Salvador's 44 mayors aligned with the opposition.[39]

ARENA will hold its legislative and municipal primary elections on 19 July.[40]

Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front

[edit]

On 7 December 2025, Flores announced that the FMLN will participate in the 2027 election. He added that the party was open to forming coalitions in the legislative and municipal elections to defeat Bukele's allies[41][42] but ruled out forming coalitions with ARENA.[43] The FMLN eliminated a rule requiring its electoral candidates to be party members, referring to non-party candidates as "citizen candidates" ("ciudadanos candidatos").[41][42] Flores has announced that he will lead the FMLN's 2027 electoral campaign.[44] According to Flores, the FMLN hopes to win at least one seat in the Legislative Assembly.[38]

The FMLN convoked its legislative and municipal primary elections on 30 March but has not set a date.[45] In April, Flores announced that the FMLN would allow candidates from the political right to run as members of the FMLN, stating that the FMLN was no longer a party of guerrillas.[46]

Grand Alliance for National Unity

[edit]

In February 2026, Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA) vice president Guillermo Gallegos stated that GANA aimed to increase its number of mayors two- or three-fold. Party affiliate Maximiliano Díaz stated that the party sought to return to the Legislative Assembly after having lost all its seats in the 2024 election, adding that "[GANA] wants to be associates, not accomplices" ("nosotros queremos ser socios, no cómplices") and that GANA wants to serve as a "constructive opposition" ("oposición constructiva").[47]

Gallegos has stated that the party is open to forming legislative and municipal coalitions with any political party with the exception of ARENA, the FMLN, and Vamos.[48] In April 2026, Gallegos stated that the party was in negotiations to form municipal coalitions with Nuevas Ideas, the National Coalition Party (PCN), the Christian Democratic Party (PDC), and Solidary Force (FS).[49] GANA will hold its legislative and municipal primary elections from 1 June to 29 July.[50]

In March 2026, Salvador Menéndez, the mayor of La Paz Oeste, announced that he will not seek re-election in 2027.[51]

Vamos

[edit]

In December 2025, Vamos deputy Claudia Ortiz stated that Vamos will not form coalitions with any other party.[52] In February 2026, Ortiz stated that she was evaluating the possibility of her seeking re-election to the Legislative Assembly. She also stated that the party was interested in nominating candidates in the municipal elections.[53] She also announced that the party would form alliances with leaders in "different social sectors" ("diferentes sectores sociales") but would not form coalitions with ARENA or the FMLN, citing that they "had not been allies the people" ("no han sido aliados del pueblo").[54] According to Ortiz, Vamos projects that it will win at least 16 seats in the Legislative Assembly.[55]

On 16 March, she stated that the party will focus on the legislative and municipal elections rather than on the presidential election.[56] She stated that the party would soon announce the date of its primary election. Vamos will field legislative candidates in all 14 departments for the first time in its history,[57] and party leader Cesia Rivas stated that the party hoped to win a deputy in each department and up to 2 or 3 in La Libertad, San Miguel, San Salvador, and Santa Ana.[58]

Vamos will hold its legislative and municipal primary elections on 31 May 2026.[59] Ortiz is seeking re-election to the Legislative Assembly. Rivas is also running as a legislative candidate in San Salvador.[60]

Christian Democratic Party

[edit]

On 6 March 2026, the Christian Democratic Party announced that it will participate in the legislative and municipal elections.[61] The party will hold its primary elections on 25 July 2026.[62]

Roberto Aquino, the mayor of Sonsonate Centro, has announced that he will seek re-election.[63]

National Coalition Party

[edit]

In February 2026, Nuevas Ideas deputy William Soriano accused the National Coalition Party of allowing former ARENA members to seek office as PCN members in the 2027 elections. In March, PCN leader Manuel Rodríguez criticized Soriano's accusations.[64] The PCN convoked its primary elections on 27 March but has not announced a date.[65]

Deputy Reynaldo Cardoza has announced he is seeking re-election. He also stated that the PCN hoped to win both of Chalatenango's seats in the Legislative Assembly.[66]

Salvadoran Independent Party

[edit]

The Salvadoran Independent Party (PAIS) did not convoke its legislative or municipal elections.[67] As PAIS did not participate in the 2024 elections, it must participate in the 2027 elections in order to avoid cancelation by the TSE in accordance with the Law of Political Parties.[68]

Solidary Force

[edit]

Solidary Force will hold its legislative and municipal primary elections on 29 July 2026.[69]

Salvadoran Patriotic Fraternity

[edit]

The Salvadoran Patriotic Fraternity (FPS) will hold its legislative and municipal primary elections will occur from 19 to 26 July.[65]

Salvadoran Democracy

[edit]

Salvadoran Democracy (DS) has stated that it will focus its 2027 election participation on the legislative election.[70] The party convoked its legislative and municipal primary elections on 6 April 2026 but has not scheduled a date.[71] As DS did not participate in the 2024 elections, it must participate in the 2027 elections in order to avoid cancelation by the TSE in accordance with the Law of Political Parties.[68]

Cambio Total

[edit]

According to Umaña, ARENA offered to name him as the party's candidate for mayor of San Salvador Centro or La Libertad Sur. He said he would accept the nomination if ARENA, the FMLN, and Vamos agreed to form a coalition.[72]
