When is the Maldives legislative election 2029?

Polling day is 2029-04-21, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the People's Majlis race be official?

Expected between 2029-04-22T19:00:00Z and 2029-04-30T18:59:59Z (UTC), confidence announced. Elections (General) Act 11/2008 s.61: 'Within seven (7) days of the day of elections, the Elections Commission shall confirm the results of the election, and publicly announce the official results of the election and publish it in the government gazette', naming the persons elected - by 28 Apr 2029 for a 21 Apr vote, which is also the art. 79(b) deadline. 2024 precedent: the official results ('ރަސްމީ ނަތީޖާ'), one announcement per atoll and city, seen (elections.gov.mv/announcements/123 to 142) are all dated 25 Apr 2024, day 4; 93 members were sworn in on 28 May 2024 (adhadhu.com/54296); the seat count follows the constituency delimitation and may change for 2029. A tie in a constituency needs a run-off there (Parliamentary Elections Act 2/2009, per secondary sources; not read). The opening (start of day 2, local) is an ESTIMATED floor; the window closes at the end of 30 Apr 2029, Maldives time, two days past the statutory deadline. Petitions against a result lie to the High Court within 14 days of the official announcement, judgment within 30 days, and can order fresh voting in an area (ss.64-65); no court confirms the result, so there is no court-validation stage. The Maldives has a presidential system: the cabinet does not depend on the Majlis election, so there is no government stage.
