Changes to the Process of Filling Vacant Independent Parliamentary Seats
September 12, 2025
The Ministry of the Interior proposes changes to the election laws for deputies and MEPs to fill vacant independent positions. Through four draft bills, the process of filling vacant seats is simplified, eliminating the need for supplementary elections. When a seat for an independent deputy or MEP is vacated, it will be filled by a candidate from the same party or coalition with available seat leftovers. The public consultation for the draft bills will last until October 13. The elections will be held simultaneously.
