Parliamentary elections were held in Colombia on 11 March 2018 to elect 102 members of the Senate and 166 members of the House of Representatives.

Electoral system

Of the 166 members of the House of Representatives, 162 are elected by proportional representation from 33 multi-member constituencies based on the departments, with seats allocated using the largest remainder method.[1] Two members are elected by Afro-Colombian community, one by indigenous community, and one by Colombian expatriates.[2]

The 102 Senators are elected by two methods; 100 from a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation (with seats allocated using the largest remainder) and two from a two-seat constituency for indigenous Colombians.[3]

FARC will be guaranteed five seats in the House and five in the Senate as part of the Colombian peace process.[4][5]
