Algeria runoff 2029
Polling day Date not yet official. Counted by Independent National Authority for Elections. Times are Algiers time; hover for UTC.
Held only if no candidate wins an absolute majority of the votes cast in the first round (tentatively 16 Sep 2029; Constitution art. 85, ordonnance 21-01 arts. 247-248), between the two candidates with the most votes. Date TENTATIVE, the latest lawful one: art. 257 (not changed by LO 26-05 on this point) fixes round 2 'au quinzième (15ème) jour après la proclamation des résultats du premier tour par la Cour constitutionnelle', and 'la durée maximale entre le premier et le deuxième tour ne doit pas dépasser trente (30) jours' - 16 Sep + 30 days = Tue 16 Oct 2029. With the 2024 pace (Court proclamation seven days after polling) round 2 would fall about 22 days after round 1. If a round-2 candidate dies or is legally prevented, the whole election is rerun (Constitution art. 95; art. 257 as amended).

Stage windows and their sources
- Election-night count→announcedOrdonnance 21-01 art. 132 (unchanged by LO 26-05): polling 'ouvert à huit (8) heures et clos le même jour à dix-neuf (19) heures'; the ANIE president may extend closing 'jusqu'à vingt (20) heures, maximum' and may open up to 72 h earlier in remote communes (120 h abroad). Algeria is on UTC+1 all year (no DST): 19:00 local = 18:00 UTC; an extension would move it to 19:00 UTC at the latest. Ordonnance 21-01 art. 272: the wilaya electoral commissions finish centralising the presidential vote 'au plus tard, dans les soixante-douze (72) heures qui suivent la clôture du scrutin' and send their minutes to the Constitutional Court and ANIE; art. 259 (as amended by LO 26-05): the ANIE president proclaims the provisional results, after approval by the ANIE Council, 'au plus tard, dans un délai de soixante-douze (72) heures' from receipt of those minutes. Close + 72 h + 72 h gives the window's end. 2024 precedent: ANIE proclaimed the provisional results of the 7 Sep 2024 election on 8 Sep 2024, the day after polling (Constitutional Court Proclamation n° 09/P.C.C/24, JO n° 63 of 15 Sep 2024, which cites 'la proclamation de l'Autorité nationale indépendante des élections du ... 8 septembre 2024'). Provisional, not the final result.
- Final result→announcedConstitution art. 191: the Constitutional Court rules on appeals against the provisional results and 'proclame les résultats définitifs'. Ordonnance 21-01 art. 259: appeals within 48 h of ANIE's provisional proclamation; art. 260: the Court rules on them within three days and 'proclame les résultats définitifs de l'élection présidentielle dans un délai de dix (10) jours, à partir de la date de réception des procès-verbaux transmis par le Président de l'Autorité indépendante'. Latest: ANIE's provisional proclamation at the end of the 72 h + 72 h window, plus 10 days; the window closes at the end of that day, Algiers time (UTC+1). The opening is an ESTIMATED floor (provisional results the day after polling, as in 2024, then the 48 h appeal period). 2024 precedent: Proclamation n° 09/P.C.C/24 of Sat 14 Sep 2024, seven days after the 7 Sep vote, deliberated on 10-14 Sep after two appeals filed on 10 Sep (JO n° 63 of 15 Sep 2024; https://www.joradp.dz/FTP/JO-FRANCAIS/2024/F2024063.pdf). The Court's proclamation is itself the final result: there is no separate court-validation stage. The elected president takes office on taking the oath before Parliament within the week after the election (Constitution art. 89 as revised in 2026).
