Parliamentary elections will be held in Armenia in May 2017. They will be the first elections after the constitutional referendum in 2015 that approved reforms to become a parliamentary republic.

Electoral system

At the time of the previous elections in 2012, the National Assembly had 131 seats, of which 41 were elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting and 90 elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with an electoral threshold of 5%.[1] However, a referendum in 2015 approved constitutional amendments reducing the number of seats in the National Assembly to 101, all of which will be elected by proportional representation.[2]
