General elections were held in Uruguay on 27 October 2024.[1][2] Since no presidential candidate received a majority in the first round of voting, a runoff will take place on 24 November 2024, pitting Yamandú Orsi of the Broad Front against Álvaro Delgado of the Republican Coalition.

The election also coincided with two constitutional referendums on reforms to the social security system that would lower the retirement age, increase payouts and transfer privately managed savings to a state-run trust,[3] and allowing for nighttime police raids in homes.[4]
