General elections were held in Zanzibar on 28 October 2020 alongside the Tanzanian general elections to elect the President and National Assembly of the Semi-autonomous state of Zanzibar.[1] Voters elect the president, Zanzibar House of Representatives and local government councillors. By convention, the election was held on the last Wednesday of October and is supervised by the Zanzibar Election Commission.[2]
Incumbent president Ali Mohamed Shein was ineligible to be elected to a third term because of term limits and stepped down as president on 3 November.[3] The president of Zanzibar is the third highest position in the Union government of Tanzania.
