When is the Portugal legislative election 2029?

Polling day is 2029-10-14, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the Assembleia da República race be official?

Expected between 2029-10-24T23:00:00Z and 2029-11-05T23:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Each circle's general-count assembly starts at 09:00 on day 2 (Lei 14/79 art. 107), should finish by day 10 (art. 111-A) and proclaims its result by public notice (edital, art. 112); its minutes go to the Comissão Nacional de Eleições within two days (art. 113). Art. 115: 'Nos oito dias subsequentes à recepção das actas de apuramento geral de todos os círculos eleitorais, a Comissão Nacional de Eleições elabora e faz publicar no Diário da República, 1.ª série, um mapa oficial com o resultado das eleições'. Precedent: Mapa Oficial n.º 2-A/2025 was published on 31 May 2025 for the 18 May election (day 13); Mapa Oficial n.º 2-A/2024 on 23 Mar 2024 for the 10 Mar election (day 13) (both on cne.pt). The window opens on day 11, after the overseas count (ESTIMATED floor), and closes at the end of Monday 5 Nov 2029 (day 22; Lisbon on UTC+0 from 28 Oct): overseas assemblies finishing about day 12, plus two days for the minutes and the full eight days for the map, erring late. Appeals go to the Tribunal Constitucional within 24 hours of the edital and are decided within days (art. 118); there is no court confirmation step, so no court-validation stage. A voided and re-run vote (as in the Europa circle in 2022, re-run in March 2022) would push the map well past this window.

Election-night count
Sun 14 Oct, 20:00 → Mon 15 Oct, 05:00
estimate

Polling stations open at 08:00 and admit voters until 19:00 local time (Lei 14/79 arts. 41, 89). On 14 Oct 2029 mainland Portugal and Madeira are on WEST (UTC+1) and the Azores on UTC+0 (EU summer time ends 28 Oct 2029): mainland closes 18:00 UTC, the Azores 19:00 UTC, which is used here as the last close. SGMAI publishes the provisional count for the 226 seats of the national-territory circles on eleicoes.mai.gov.pt through the night. The window (to 05:00 WEST Monday) is an ESTIMATE; no 2025 completion time was verified. The four seats of the two overseas circles (Europa, Fora da Europa) are not decided on election night. Provisional, not the official result.
Replaced on the live page by the intermediate count from Wed 24 Oct, 09:00.
Intermediate count
Wed 24 Oct, 09:00 → Fri 26 Oct, 23:59
announced

Lei 14/79 art. 106-I(1): the assemblies counting the votes of voters resident abroad 'iniciam os seus trabalhos às 9 horas do décimo dia posterior ao da eleição' - Wednesday 24 Oct 2029, 09:00 WEST (08:00 UTC); art. 106-J: a general-count assembly per overseas circle consolidates them. This decides the last four seats. Precedent: 2025 election on 18 May, overseas votes counted and results reported on Wed 28 May 2025, day 10 (Público and RTP, 28 May 2025). The close (end of Friday 26 Oct, WEST) is an ESTIMATE allowing two extra days. Still not the official national result.

precedent

Each circle's general-count assembly starts at 09:00 on day 2 (Lei 14/79 art. 107), should finish by day 10 (art. 111-A) and proclaims its result by public notice (edital, art. 112); its minutes go to the Comissão Nacional de Eleições within two days (art. 113). Art. 115: 'Nos oito dias subsequentes à recepção das actas de apuramento geral de todos os círculos eleitorais, a Comissão Nacional de Eleições elabora e faz publicar no Diário da República, 1.ª série, um mapa oficial com o resultado das eleições'. Precedent: Mapa Oficial n.º 2-A/2025 was published on 31 May 2025 for the 18 May election (day 13); Mapa Oficial n.º 2-A/2024 on 23 Mar 2024 for the 10 Mar election (day 13) (both on cne.pt). The window opens on day 11, after the overseas count (ESTIMATED floor), and closes at the end of Monday 5 Nov 2029 (day 22; Lisbon on UTC+0 from 28 Oct): overseas assemblies finishing about day 12, plus two days for the minutes and the full eight days for the map, erring late. Appeals go to the Tribunal Constitucional within 24 hours of the edital and are decided within days (art. 118); there is no court confirmation step, so no court-validation stage. A voided and re-run vote (as in the Europa circle in 2022, re-run in March 2022) would push the map well past this window.

estimate

Constitution art. 187: the President appoints the prime minister 'ouvidos os partidos representados na Assembleia da República e tendo em conta os resultados eleitorais'; the new Assembly meets on the third day after the general count (art. 173). No statutory deadline. The opening (day 11, once the overseas count of day 10 is in) is an ESTIMATE, not a legal bar.
