General elections were held in Bolivia on 17 August 2025 to elect the president, vice president, and all members of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly.
Current president Luis Arce decided not to run for reelection. No candidate won a majority in the presidential election, leading to a runoff on 19 October 2025 between Senator Rodrigo Paz Pereira of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) and former president Jorge Quiroga of Libre.
Paz Pereira won with 54.6% of the vote, marking the first time in Bolivian history that a president was elected in a run-off election.[1]
About 7.9 million people were able to vote in the 2025 election.[2]
