Presidential elections are due to be held in Lithuania on 12 May 2024, alongside a referendum on allowing multiple citizenships, [1] using the two-round system. A second round will be held two weeks later if no candidate receives an absolute majority of the vote. [2]

The Lithuanian Central Election Commission [ lt] closed the registration confirming viability of 15 people, that announced their candidacies, of which 12 proceeded to collect signatures from at least twenty thousand voters. Four contenders were repudiated or dropped out; [3] eight have been confirmed for the ballot. [4]

Incumbent President Gitanas Nausėda seeks re-election against a range of opponents including Ingrida Šimonytė, his runoff challenger in the 2019 Lithuanian presidential election and incumbent Prime Minister of Lithuania. Since announcing his bid on December 7, 2023, Nausėda has been the clear frontrunner, [5] while Šimonytė is the sole woman vying for the presidency. Former chairman of the Lithuanian Bar Association Ignas Vėgėlė is considered to be an anti-establishment candidate, [6] [7] although several candidates contend for the protest vote. [8]

National security in the aftermath of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the financing of the military, universal conscription, [9] managing effects of the ageing population, cost of living, [10], ratification of the Istanbul Convention, Nausėda's 2019 presidential campaign and alleged connections with business interests from Russia and Belarus, [11] [12] [13] the Šimonytė Cabinet [6] and its conflict with Nausėda [14] have emerged as potential leading issues during the campaign.

Context

Electoral system

The elections will be held using the two-round system. To win in the first round, a candidate requires an absolute majority of the vote and either voter turnout to be above 50% or for their vote share to be equivalent to at least one-third of the number of registered voters. If no candidate wins in the first round, a second round is required, featuring the top two candidates. All candidates for president are independent. While some candidates belong to and/or are supported by a political party, the office of the president is formally non-partisan. [15]

Citizens of Lithuania at least 40 years of age whose at least one parent was also a citizen ( natural-born-citizen clause), who have lived in Lithuania for at least three years prior, are not serving a prison sentence, are not on active duty in the Lithuanian Armed Forces, are not bound to any other country by an oath and have never been impeached, are allowed to run for president. Each candidate must collect at least 20 thousand signatures by Lithuanian citizens to be able to run for election. [16] [17]

Presidential powers

Main article: President of Lithuania

The Lithuanian president has somewhat more executive authority than their counterparts in neighboring Estonia and Latvia; the Lithuanian president's function is similar to that of the presidents of France and Romania. Similarly to them, but unlike presidents in a fully presidential system such as the United States, the Lithuanian president generally has the most authority in foreign affairs. In addition to the customary diplomatic powers of Heads of State, namely receiving the letters of credence of foreign ambassadors and signing treaties, the president determines Lithuania's basic foreign policy guidelines. The president is also the commander-in-chief of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, and accordingly heads the State Defense Council and has the right to appoint the Chief of Defence (subject to Seimas consent). [18]

The president also has a significant role in domestic policy, possessing the right to submit bills to the Seimas and to veto laws passed by it, appointing the prime minister and approving the government formed by them, and also having the right to dissolve the Seimas and call snap elections following a successful motion of no confidence or if the Seimas refuses to approve the government's budget within sixty days. However, the next elected Seimas may retaliate by calling for an earlier presidential election. [19] In addition, according to a resolution by the Constitutional Court of Lithuania in 1998, the president is required by law to nominate the candidate of the parliamentary majority to the office of prime minister. [20]

The president also holds informal power, as the office of president is generally more trusted by the populace according to approval polling, and Lithuanian presidents historically sank legislation and forced the resignation of prime ministers (such as Gediminas Vagnorius in 1998). [20]

Candidates

All pre-registered candidates were required to finalize the registration procedure by March 8, 2024, in order to commence the collection of signatures for the confirmation of their candidacy. 10 out of 15 candidates have completed this before the start of the procurement phase. [21] Two candidates managed to resolve it afterwards. Three other aspirants chose against launching a presidential bid or were eliminated due to the failure to complete the procedure before the deadline. [22]

All declared candidates for president had to gather 20 thousand signatures physically or online in order to be registered and present them by March 28, 2024 (2024-03-28) 17:00 EET. [23] [24] Four failed or dropped out in the proccess, [25] leaving the following eight candidates that will appear on the ballot on May 12. [4]

Political parties

Social Democratic Party of Lithuania

On February 3, 2024, the Social Democrats decided to not nominate a presidential candidate for the first time since 1998 and endorsed Gitanas Nausėda in the election. [36]

Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrats

All TS-LKD candidates withdrew after Šimonytė announced her bid. [81]

Labour Party

The party elected Andrius Mazuronis to be its candidate.

Liberal Movement

The Liberal Movement decided to not nominate a candidate for the forthcoming elections, and also against endorsing any other contender. [84]

Lithuanian Regions Party

All candidates decline to participate in the election and the party declared support for Mantas Varaška. [87] However, Valdas Tutkus launched a presidential bid on October 5 without the party.

The party eventually opted against fielding its own candidate. [88] On March 2, 2024, it endorsed Nausėda. [37]

Union of Democrats "For Lithuania"

The party elected Giedrimas Jeglinskas to be its candidate.

Declined candidates

Ineligible candidates

These people are constitutionally prevented from standing for election for any office which requires an oath of office to the Constitution of Lithuania, including President of Lithuania:

Campaign

Candidate donations and funding

Campaign funding in elections in Lithuania is heavily restricted. The maximum amount each candidate is limited to raise is €2 million. Only individuals living in Lithuania and registered political parties may provide funding for a candidate. The candidate themselves may contribute a maximum of €36,000 or one fifth of their total declared income and assets. Individuals who had yet to declare income can only donate up to €50 through the entire electoral cycle, whereas individuals who had done so may contribute a maximum of €18,000 or one tenth of their total declared income and assets.

The system has been criticized for providing for a handicapped, monotonous campaign and diluting the chance of unknown candidates to spread their message to wider, untapped audiences. [97]
