El Salvador votes on 28 February 2027 (no projection)

On 28 February 2027 El Salvador elects, on a single day, the President and Vice President of the Republic for the 2027-2033 term, the 60 members of the Legislative Assembly and the councils of its 44 municipalities. The unified date follows the 2025 constitutional reform, which ends early, on 1 June 2027, the presidential term that began in 2024.

Winning rule

The 2025 reform abolished the runoff. The presidential ticket with the most valid votes is elected in a single round. The term was extended from five to six years.

Assembly and municipalities

Deputies are elected by proportional representation in 15 constituencies: the 14 departments and a constituency for Salvadorans abroad. Voters may mark a party flag or individual candidates, including candidates from different parties. Capivote does not publish seat projections or municipal council projections: the Assembly system has not yet been verified at the official source, and there are no constituency-level polls.

Why there is no projection

As of the cut-off date, 11 November 2026, no poll of vote intention by candidate meets the methodology's entry criteria: a published technical sheet, a verified source and a pollster with no ties to a party or to the government. The polls published in the country mainly measure government approval and party preference, which are not vote intention. For this reason Capivote does not publish an average, a margin or a probability of victory. Candidacies are not settled either: registration with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal closes on 19 November 2026 and final rulings run until 17 December.

Calendar

Salvadoran law bans the publication of polls and projections from 13 February 2027, and Capivote complies: from that date the page receives no new figures. The final count of the presidential election is scheduled for 2 to 5 March, and the official declaration of results by 16 March. The page will be updated once polls of vote intention by candidate meet the criteria; results come only from official sources.
