General elections will be held in Guatemala in June 2027 to elect the president and vice president, all 160 seats in Congress, all 20 members of the Central American Parliament, and mayors and councils for all the country's 340 municipalities, with a second round of the presidential elections to be held in August if no candidate wins a majority in the first round. Incumbent President Bernardo Arévalo is constitutionally prohibited from running for a second four-year term.[1][2]

It is expected that the ruling party's legislative coalition will seek to reform the Electoral Law.[3]
