A snap legislative election is taking place in Portugal on 18 May 2025[4] to elect members of the Assembly of the Republic to the 17th Legislature. All 230 seats to the Assembly of the Republic will be at stake.

Following accusations and allegations of alleged conflicts of interest in relation to the Prime Minister's family business,[5] the incumbent government called a confidence vote, which it lost on 11 March 2025.[6] The President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, then called an election for 18 May, making this the third legislative election in less than four years.[4]
