Presidential elections were held in Lithuania on 12 May 2024, alongside a referendum on allowing multiple citizenships.[1] Incumbent President Gitanas Nausėda won re-election to a second term. The Lithuanian Central Election Commission closed the registration confirming viability of 15 people, that announced their candidacies, of which 12 proceeded to collect signatures from at least twenty thousand voters. Four contenders were repudiated or dropped out;[2] eight were confirmed for the ballot.[3]
A second round was held on 26 May as no candidate received an absolute majority of the vote in the first round.[4] The elections saw Nausėda and Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė facing off in the runoff in a rematch of the 2019 election in which Nausėda defeated Šimonytė. The incumbent Nausėda prevailed in the second round, defeating Šimonytė in a landslide victory with 76% of the vote. This was the largest margin of victory for any presidential candidate in the history of Lithuania.
