¿Cuándo son las elecciones generales 2026 en Zambia?

La votación es el 2026-08-13 (fecha oficial).

¿Cuándo será oficial el resultado definitivo (Presidencia)?

Previsto entre 2026-08-14T22:00:00Z y 2026-08-20T21:59:59Z (UTC), confianza: anunciado. Constitution Art. 101(2): the Returning Officer (the ECZ chairperson) 'shall declare the presidential candidate who receives more than fifty percent of the valid votes cast' as President-elect; otherwise a second ballot within 37 days (Art. 101(3)). ECZ roadmap: verification 15-17 Aug, declaration Monday 17 Aug 2026. The window runs to the end of Thu 20 Aug CAT, erring late (2021 precedent: vote 12 Aug, declaration 16 Aug 2021, day 4, per Reuters/BBC as cited on Wikipedia). What happened (press only, so observedAt is unset): ECZ chairperson Mwangala Zaloumis declared Hakainde Hichilema President-elect 'this 18th day of August, 2026', in the early hours of Tue 18 Aug, with more than 50% of valid votes, so no second ballot was needed (Al Jazeera, 18 Aug 2026; News Diggers, 24 Aug 2026). The state broadcaster ZNBC reported the declaration at 'about 02:40 hours' on 18 Aug (00:40 UTC). On 1 Oct 2026 no declaration or results document for 2026 was on elections.org.zm (newest upload 9 Aug 2026), and results.elections.org.zm answered 503. Re-checked 25 Oct 2026: still no 2026 declaration or results document on elections.org.zm (newest post ?p=5601, councillor nominations; WordPress API answered 500) and results.elections.org.zm answered 503, so observedAt stays unset and no counts are recorded.

¿Cuándo será oficial el resultado definitivo (Asamblea Nacional)?

Previsto entre 2026-08-14T22:00:00Z y 2026-08-28T21:59:59Z (UTC), confianza: anunciado. Seats: Constitution Art. 68(1) as replaced by the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Act No. 13 of 2025 (assent 18 Dec 2025): 226 constituency-based seats (first past the post) plus 40 proportional-representation seats (20 women, 15 youths, 5 persons with disabilities) = 266 elected; up to 11 nominated members and ex officio members are not counted here. Art. 47(4) as amended: the ECZ distributes the 40 PR seats to parties 'after a general election ... in proportion to the total number of valid votes received by a presidential candidate', so the full composition depends on the presidential result. ECZ roadmap: declaration 17 Aug, publication of election results 17-24 Aug 2026; the window runs four more days to end of Fri 28 Aug CAT, erring late (an estimate on top of the roadmap). What happened (press only, so observedAt is unset): returning officers declared the 226 constituency seats from 14 to about 19 Aug. On 5 Sep the ECZ said only UPND and NRPUP qualify for PR seats; it then validated and declared the 40 PR members (Lusaka Times, 18 Sep 2026), who were sworn in on 21 Sep (Lusaka Times, 21 Sep 2026). That completed the 266 elected seats about three weeks after this window closed: the window was too early, because the PR seats follow the presidential petition period. No ECZ page or document for 2026 was on elections.org.zm on 1 Oct 2026. About 30 parliamentary petitions were filed in the High Court (Lusaka Times, 1 Sep 2026); the declared results stand meanwhile. Challenges: an election petition goes to the High Court and must be heard within 90 days of filing (Art. 73); the filing deadline is set by the Electoral Process Act, which we did not read. Re-checked 25 Oct 2026: still no 2026 declaration or results document on elections.org.zm (newest post ?p=5601, councillor nominations; WordPress API answered 500) and results.elections.org.zm answered 503, so observedAt stays unset and no counts are recorded.

Polls closed at 18:00 CAT (UTC+2, no DST) = 16:00 UTC (ECZ notice ?p=5598). Votes are counted at polling stations and totalled by constituency; the ECZ reads constituency results out at its National Results Centre (launched 11 Aug 2026 per the ECZ roadmap) as they arrive. These are partial counts, not the declared result. 2026: the ECZ suspended the count for several hours on 14 Aug, citing attacks on polling staff (Al Jazeera, 18 Aug 2026). The window closes with the roadmap's end of verification (17 Aug); it is an estimate.

The Constitutional Court acts only on a petition. Constitution Art. 101(4) / 103(1): a person may petition it 'within seven days of the declaration'; Art. 103(2) as amended by Act No. 13 of 2025: the Court shall 'hear and determine' the petition within fourteen days of filing; its decision is final. Window: declaration day (18 Aug) to 14 days after the last filing day (25 Aug) = 8 Sep 2026. What happened (press only): no petition was recorded at the Constitutional Court Registry by 18:00 on 24 Aug, the Judiciary said (News Diggers, 26 Aug 2026). Separately, a 'People's Presidential Petition' was emailed to the Chief Justice after an electronic filing bounced; he called it highly irregular and referred it to the Constitutional Court to decide whether it is a petition at all (Pulse of Africa; News Diggers, 26 Aug 2026). No ruling on that referral had been reported by 3 Sep (Lusaka Times), and none was on judiciaryzambia.com on 1 Oct 2026. The President-elect was sworn in on 1 Sep, the date Art. 105(2)(a) sets when no petition is filed. Re-checked 25 Oct 2026: no ruling on the referral found.

Declaration 18 Aug; seventh day after = Tue 25 Aug; the Tuesday following = Tue 1 Sep 2026. Press/Wikipedia ('Second inauguration of Hakainde Hichilema'): sworn in by Chief Justice Mumba Malila at National Heroes Stadium, Lusaka, on 1 Sep 2026, ceremony from 11:00 CAT.

Polls closed at 18:00 CAT = 16:00 UTC (ECZ notice ?p=5598). Each of the 226 constituency seats is declared by its returning officer at the constituency totalling centre as counting finishes; the ECZ relays these at the National Results Centre. The window follows the ECZ roadmap's verification period (to 17 Aug); an estimate.
