Nepal Voting Day 2082: Important Information For Every Citizen

Last Updated: March 5, 2026 | 7:45 AM

On March 5, 2026, Nepal is holding an important general election to choose 275 members of the House of Representatives. This election is happening earlier than expected.

In September 2025, the House of Representatives was dissolved before completing its full term. This decision came after large public protests across the country, mainly led by young people demanding political change.

According to Article 76 and Article 85 of the Constitution of Nepal, a new general election must be held within six months if the House is dissolved early. Because of this constitutional rule, the government scheduled the election for March 5, 2026.

Under the normal election cycle, the next general election would have taken place in December 2027. However, due to early dissolution, citizens are voting much sooner.

Today’s voting is therefore not just routine, it is part of a major political development in Nepal.

Introduction
