El Salvador 2027 election preparations

Overview

In late July 2026, the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) in El Salvador held internal elections to choose candidates for upcoming municipal council seats and the Legislative Assembly, framing the vote as a “journey of hope” and emphasizing the strengthening of internal party democracy.

Two days later, the country’s Supreme Electoral Court conducted a second internal test of its vote‑recording and transmission system, focusing on the speed of preliminary tallies and the reliability of result transmission. The trial, part of a broader electoral calendar that runs through February 2027, aims to address earlier challenges and ensure smooth processing for the general election scheduled for 28 February 2027.
