Article 80: Date of Regular Presidential Elections

Chapter VIMedium

Constitution Text

“A regular election of the President of the Republic shall be held on the last Sunday two months before the expiry of the term of office of the President of the Republic.”

Summary

A regular presidential election is held on the last Sunday two months before the end of the President's term of office.

Key Points

•Regular presidential elections are held on a Sunday.
•The election day is the last Sunday two months before the expiry of the President's term.
•The election takes place while the sitting President is still in office.

Practical Example

Because the vote is held two months before the term ends, the elected President has time to prepare to take office while the incumbent continues working until the end of the term.

Exam Tips

Memorise: last Sunday, two months before the end of the term. Do not confuse this with the date of Seimas elections (Article 57).
