Note on the “Parties or coalitions winning seats”:
Portugal uses 22 constituencies for parliamentary elections. The number of seats to which each party/coalition is entitled is calculated at the constituency level. Parties/coalitions which receive a higher proportion of votes at national level may therefore receive a lower proportion of the total number of seats or vice versa.
The “Parties or coalitions winning seats” table above lists the parties/coalitions according to the number of seats they won. The order of parties/coalitions may therefore be different from the official election results, which list the parties/coalitions according to the number of votes they obtained.

On 15 February 2022, the Constitutional Court invalidated the results for one constituency (comprising two seats for Portuguese citizens living abroad in Europe) and ordered those elections to be rerun. Consequently, the number of seats for the Socialist Party (PS) decreased from 119 to 118, and for the Social Democratic Party (PPD/PSD) from 73 to 72. As at 25 February, there were 84 women out of 228 confirmed MPs.

The PS won both seats in the rerun elections held on 12 and 13 March. The number of seats held by the PS thus increased from 118 to 120.

Note on the expected date of next elections:
Each legislature consists of four legislative sessions. Each session commences on 15 September and lasts for one year. In cases of early dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic, the newly elected legislature completes the remaining period of the last session in progress of the outgoing legislature in addition to its statutory four-year term. General elections are held between 14 September and 14 October in the year in which the legislature ends.
