When is the Albania legislative election 2029?

Polling day is 2029-05-13, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the Kuvendi (Assembly) race be official?

Expected between 2029-05-23T22:00:00Z and 2029-09-12T21:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Electoral Code art. 162(1): no later than 3 days after the appeals against a zone's result end, the KQZ allocates that zone's seats, and (art. 163 as amended by Law 81/2024) names the winning candidates by decision, itself open to appeal to the KAS. The result is final zone by zone; the last zone sets this stage. 2025: the first zones' seats followed their 23 May 2025 approval, but Tirana's 37 seats were allocated only about 23 Jul 2025 (day 73; balkanweb.com, 23 Jul 2025), after KAS decision nr. 102 of 7 Jul 2025 changed the Tirana result and the Electoral College upheld it (KQZ decision on Tirana seats, kqz.gov.al/media/documents/vendimKSHZ_2025_00_shperndarje_mandatesh_Tirane_rinumerim_f_vetem_mandate.pdf), and a dispute over one Tirana candidate went to the Electoral College on 13 Aug 2025 (a2news.com). The window opens at the start of Thursday 24 May 2029 (day 11, an ESTIMATED floor) and closes at the end of Wednesday 12 Sep 2029, CEST, the day the outgoing Assembly's mandate ends: day 122, well past the 2025 precedent. No court must confirm the result: appeals to the Electoral College (Court of Appeal, Tirana) are optional, so no court-validation stage.

precedent

Polls close at 19:00 CEST (Electoral Code art. 11(1), April-May period). Ballots are not counted at the polling station: each zone's commission (KZAZ/CEAZ) starts counting only after all its ballot boxes arrive (art. 116(1)), and the KQZ results page fills as boxes are counted. 2025: by 14 May 2025 19:40 CEST (day 3) KQZ reported all 5,225 domestic boxes counted, with envelopes from voters abroad still being counted (balkanweb.com, 14 May 2025); the envelopes from Greece were counted on 17 May 2025 (shqiptarja.com, 17 May 2025). The window closes at the end of Thursday 17 May 2029, CEST, a day past precedent for the domestic count. Preliminary, not the final result.
Replaced on the live page by the intermediate count from Mon 21 May, 00:00.

precedent

The KQZ (State Election Commissioner) approves each of the 12 county zones' aggregate table of results by decision, within 48 h of receiving all its tables (Electoral Code art. 123(1)); these can still be changed on appeal to the KAS and the Electoral College. 2025: Vlorë, Fier, Lezhë and Gjirokastër approved on 23 May 2025 (e.g. Fier decision nr. 1317 of 23.05.2025), Tirana (nr. 1326) and Elbasan (nr. 1328) on 24 May 2025, days 12-13 (KQZ decisions cited in its 2025 seat-allocation decisions; shqiptarja.com, 23 May 2025). The window opens at the start of Monday 21 May 2029 (day 8, an ESTIMATED floor) and closes at the end of Sunday 3 Jun 2029 (day 21), CEST. Zone results, not the seat allocation.

precedent

Electoral Code art. 162(1): no later than 3 days after the appeals against a zone's result end, the KQZ allocates that zone's seats, and (art. 163 as amended by Law 81/2024) names the winning candidates by decision, itself open to appeal to the KAS. The result is final zone by zone; the last zone sets this stage. 2025: the first zones' seats followed their 23 May 2025 approval, but Tirana's 37 seats were allocated only about 23 Jul 2025 (day 73; balkanweb.com, 23 Jul 2025), after KAS decision nr. 102 of 7 Jul 2025 changed the Tirana result and the Electoral College upheld it (KQZ decision on Tirana seats, kqz.gov.al/media/documents/vendimKSHZ_2025_00_shperndarje_mandatesh_Tirane_rinumerim_f_vetem_mandate.pdf), and a dispute over one Tirana candidate went to the Electoral College on 13 Aug 2025 (a2news.com). The window opens at the start of Thursday 24 May 2029 (day 11, an ESTIMATED floor) and closes at the end of Wednesday 12 Sep 2029, CEST, the day the outgoing Assembly's mandate ends: day 122, well past the 2025 precedent. No court must confirm the result: appeals to the Electoral College (Court of Appeal, Tirana) are optional, so no court-validation stage.

Constitution art. 67(1) as amended by Law 9904/2008: the President convenes the newly elected Assembly 'jo më parë se data e përfundimit të mandatit të Kuvendit paraardhës, por jo më vonë se 10 ditë pas mbarimit të këtij mandati' - between 12 and 22 Sep 2029 - and a new government needs the new Assembly's vote, so none before 12 Sep 2029. 2025: first sitting 12 Sep 2025 (shqiptarja.com, 10 Sep 2025); the Assembly approved the new cabinet on Thursday 18 Sep 2025 and it was sworn in on 19 Sep 2025 (European Western Balkans, 19 Sep 2025).
