Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Somaliland on 13 November 2024,[4] the fourth direct presidential elections since 2003. On 24 September 2022 the National Electoral Commission announced that the elections, initially scheduled for 13 November 2022, had been postponed to July 2023.[5] The House of Elders voted on 1 October 2022 to postpone the elections by two years instead of the nine months previously recommended by the National Electoral Commission, effectively scheduling the election for November 2024.[6]

The resumption of the Las Anod conflict against SSC-Khatumo at the end of October has raised concerns about the war's potential impact on the electoral process and regional stability.[7]
