The country is gearing forward for the 2023 national elections in a date to be announced where bucopho, indvuna yenkhundla and members of parliament are expected to be elected under the Tinkhundla System of Government.
Elections were last held in 2018 where over 90 per cent of emaSwati registered and eventually 60 per cent made it to the ballot box to elect their ideal candidates. Some of the members of both chambers are elected, while the rest are appointed by the King of Eswatini. Election is by secret ballot in a first-past-the-post system of voting. Members of both chambers serve five-year terms.

All candidates run on a non-partisan basis, as political parties are banned. General elections were held in Eswatini in June 1964 to elect members of the Legislative Council but under the new constitution they were held in 2008.
