Bangladesh is scheduled to hold its first elections since the July Revolution of 2024 (Economist, Deutsche Welle, The Hindu, India News Network). The next national election for the Jatiya Sangsad (parliament) is scheduled for 12 February 2026 (Al Jazeera). There are a total of 350 seats in the Jatiya Sangsad, though only 300 are directly elected, with the remaining 50 reserved for women to be chosen by the elected members (Jatiya Sangsad). The question is only concerned with the 300 directly elected members. If there is ambiguity in the result, the outcome will be determined based on the results as certified by the Bangladesh Election Commission. A "majority" is more than 50% of seats. A "plurality" is more seats than any other party, but less than a majority.
