About elections in Iceland
I'm Bartłomiej Paruzel, and I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the Iceland hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the 7 Iceland elections I cover: 6 with the official results, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places (and, where the electoral authority publishes an official regional breakdown, an interactive map you can explore region by region), plus a preview of the upcoming vote.
Iceland is a parliamentary republic in the North Atlantic and home to one of the world's oldest parliaments, the Althing (Alþingi), which traces its origins to 930 AD. The 63-seat unicameral Althing is elected every four years by open-list proportional representation across six multi-member constituencies, with 54 constituency seats allocated by the D'Hondt method and 9 nationwide adjustment seats ensuring overall proportionality for parties that clear a 5% threshold. The president is directly elected as a largely ceremonial head of state — Guðni Th. Jóhannesson served from 2016 to 2024, succeeded by Halla Tómasdóttir — while executive power rests with a prime minister and cabinet accountable to the Althing. Iceland has a fluid multi-party system that reliably produces coalition governments spanning left and right; its main parties include the centre-right Independence Party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn), the agrarian-centrist Progressive Party (Framsóknarflokkurinn), the Social Democratic Alliance (Samfylkingin), the Left-Green Movement (Vinstri græn), the liberal pro-European Viðreisn, the Pirate Party (Píratar), the populist Centre Party (Miðflokkurinn) and the People's Party (Flokkur fólksins). The years since the 2008 banking collapse have been marked by scandal-driven snap elections (2016, 2017, 2024) and shifting coalitions, including Katrín Jakobsdóttir's unusual cross-spectrum government of 2017–2024. The 2024 snap election brought a Social Democrat-led coalition under Kristrún Frostadóttir to power, which has scheduled a 2026 referendum on resuming EU accession talks. Iceland is a founding member of NATO but not of the European Union, though it participates in the single market through the European Economic Area and Schengen. Its economy rests on fisheries, renewable geothermal and hydro energy, aluminium smelting and tourism, and it ranks among the world's most stable, egalitarian and corruption-free democracies. Elections and referendums are administered by the National Electoral Commission (landskjörstjórn), with results compiled by Statistics Iceland (Hagstofa Íslands).
Each election listed here has its own page with the full breakdown by party or candidate and an interactive map of the result.
Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for Iceland — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.
The next national election ElectioMap is tracking in Iceland is the EU Membership Referendum 2026, scheduled for Aug 29, 2026. Live results will appear on its page as soon as counting begins.
All Iceland figures come from the official electoral authority that certifies the count, entered exactly as published to two decimal places. See the Data & Methodology page for the full sourcing and update policy.
Where the electoral authority publishes an official regional breakdown, the Iceland election page includes an interactive map — click a region to see how each party or candidate performed there. Where no official per-region data exists, the page shows the certified national result and says so.
