2024 Icelandic presidential election
1 June 2024
Incumbent President

Guðni Th. Jóhannesson


Presidential elections are due to be held in Iceland on 1 June 2024.[1]

Background

The previous presidential elections on 27 June 2020 saw incumbent president Guðni Th. Jóhannesson re-elected for a second four-year term with 92% of the vote.[2] The office of President is not term-limited and therefore Jóhannesson is eligible to run for a third term but has yet to announce if he will do so.

Electoral system

The President of Iceland is elected by first-past-the-post voting, with a simple plurality of votes needed to win.[3] Candidates must be Icelandic citizens and at least 35 years of age on election day.[4]
