Parliamentary elections are due to be held in Egypt in 2025.

Electoral system

The Parliament of Egypt is made up of 596 seats, with 448 seats elected through the single-member districts, 120 elected through party block vote in which party list must win more than 50% of the votes to win all seats however if no list achieves the threshold, a second round is held between top two parties and the list with the most votes wins.

Party lists contain quotas for youth, women, Christians, and workers. Single-member districts consists of 1-member district, 2-member districts, 3-member district and 4-member districts, the winner should win 50%+ of the votes, if no one achieves the threshold a second round held between top candidates (the number of candidates should be double the number of contested seats) and the candidate with the most votes wins. In addition, 28 seats are selected by the president.

The government commission that set the rules for the 2015 parliamentary elections drastically reduced the number of "list seats" ("candidates who shared party affiliations or other alliances, and whose ranks had to include people under the age of thirty-five, women, Christians, and other traditionally underrepresented groups") from the 2011 election.
