Parliamentary elections were held in Belarus on 25 February 2024.[1][2][3] The country elected 110 deputies to the lower house of parliament (House of Representatives) and about 12,000 representatives of local councils.[4]

There were no opposition candidates in these parliamentary campaigns — all contenders come from four registered political parties, each of which is pro-government, or pro-government independents.[5] The Belarusian opposition called for boycotting the elections or voting against all.[6][7] The Belarusian authorities refused to invite observers from the OSCE.[8]
