Bolivian General Elections - Presidential, 2020
Snap general elections were scheduled to be held in Bolivia on 3 May 2020, after the sequence of events that led to the installation of an interim government on 10 November 2019. However, they were postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. All major parties agreed with this measure and a date for the new election will be chosen by the legislative assembly based on a public health evaluation at a later date. A tentative date was proposed by the Bolivian electoral body, the TSE, as sometime between 7 June and 6 September.
Luis Arce of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party was elected president in a landslide, winning 55% of the vote and securing majorities in both chambers of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly. The results of the election superseded the disputed results of the October 2019 elections, which were annulled during a prolonged political crisis.
