Zuvish general election, 2020

General elections will be held in Zuvland on 5 December 2020 to elect members of the National Assembly. It was called by incumbent Chancellor Christiane Nyamena on 29 June, days after her agreement with Wallica One Nation ended over the lack of a clear answer by the government on the question of a potential independence referendum. The date was chosen to coincide with the senatorial elections held on the same day.

The election will be held under an system in all 563 ridings of the Commonwealth. 5 non-voting delegates from the self-governing territories will also be elected on the same day, to lesser attention. One party needs to reach 282 seats to form a. In case no party reaches that threshold, the party with the largest number of seats will be commissioned by the President to form a or  with smaller parties, in order to reach the threshold. If no government is formed in the 31 days following Election Day, a new election will be automatically called. As of 31 October 2020, around 49.59 million people are registered to vote in the election out of an estimated eligible 51.25 million.

After the previous election, the centre-left Solidary Party, led by Christiane Nyamena, formed a minority coalition government with the Greens, with confidence and supply from regionalist parties, Wallica One Nation and NFP. She became the third woman and first-ever person of colour to become Chancellor. The main opponent to the Solidary–Greens government is the centre-right Zuvish Popular Party, led by Lucina Klerken. Other parties represented in Parliament are the far-right Zuvish Democrats, the radical left RKB, the liberal movement Vox Populi and the libertarian right party VSA. Since 2018, two new parties, progressive Modern Values and the Green Liberals, have met the prerequisites and will stand candidates for the first time this election.

It will be the first Zuvish general election in which both of the traditional government parties' leaders are women.

Election schedule
Unless an early election is called or the election date is set to circumvent holding a by-election, a general election is held every three years. The last election was held on Saturday, 9 June 2018. Due to the Fixed-Term Parliament Act passed in 1994, the next election should therefore be held sometime in 2023, unless another by-election is called.

Parties and candidates
The following parties contested the general election:

Debates
Three leaders' debates will be hosted by each of Zuvland's three major broadcasting networks; the first one on private broadcaster De4, the second one on public broadcaster ZPO and the third and final one on private broadcaster IZR. Additionally, less mediatized debates will be hosted on smaller or local networks, as well as online, to target specific subjects and populations. For the first time ever, online streaming service Pulsar also acquired the rights to a leaders' debate, hosted jointly with staff from newspaper De Telegram and centered around youth issues.
