Calendario · articles 60–61
By December
2027.
The chambers elected in 2022 first met on 13 October 2022 and last five years. Unless the President dissolves them sooner, the general election falls between their end and 22 December 2027. Nothing has been called; an early vote in spring 2027 is press speculation.
