Parliamentary elections, will be held in Iceland on Saturday, 25 September 2021.  Pre-election voting abroad may start today, on the 13th of August.


New election material, including envelopes, ballots and cover letters, has been sent by DHL courier to most Icelandic Consulates. It is very important not to use voting material dated prior to the elections in 2021 so should Consuls still be in possession of voting material dated prior to 2021, please destroy it.

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs recommends that all voting in consulates should take place by appointment only, due to pandemic restrictions. Icelandic Embassies may extend their opening hours prior to election day. All such announcements will be published on the relevant Embassies’ websites. For further information please consult the Icelandic Embassy in your jurisdiction or the Consular Services of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

For Icelanders in Thailand to make appointment with the  Consulate General by phone number 022891121 extension 124 to vote.
