The '''next election for the [[Shangea]]n legislative council''' is due to be held across the month of January 2022. Voting will take place for 700 of the 750 seats in the legislative council. It is the first national election to be held since the start of [[Normalisation (Shangea)|Normalisation]] in 2017. 
==Electoral process==
Shangea holds elections every five years for 700 of the seats in the Legislative Council (550 elected by {{Wp|universal suffrage}} and 150 elected through {{Wp|functional constituencies|occupational constituencies}}). Voting for the directly-elected seats is done through a {{Wp|Parallel voting|mixed member majoritarian}} system with 300 seats elected by {{Wp|first-past-the-post voting|single-member plurality voting}} and 250 members through {{Wp|party-list proportional representation}}. The proportional seats retain a 5% {{wp|electoral threshold}} with the entire country treated as single constituency and are appropriated through the {{wp|D'Hondt method|Li-Qiao method}}. Occupational constituencies use single-member plurality voting. 

Voters were given two ballot papers: for proportional seats and for district seats. Voting is either done by paper or through electronic voting in certain localities. Ballots are deposited in clear boxes and voters must dip their right thumb in ink after voting in order to deter electoral fraud. Shangeans living overseas can vote in either the embassies and consulates, mobile polling stations, or by post. 

Eligible voters must be Shangean citizens, 18 or older than 18, an ordinary resident of the polling area of the district seats and registered to vote (name included in the electoral rolls), possess a valid voter identification card issued by the National Electoral Bureau. The National Electoral Bureau can bar people from voting if they have comitted certain crimes or show "disrespect for the electoral process". For occupational constituencies voters are chosen by the National Electoral Bureau and approved by the Examination Council. 

Voting is staggered over two weeks and held in five stages with different provinces voting during these sections. Voting during each stage lasts from 7AM to 11PM. Campaigning and polling is strictly prohibited during this period. The National Electoral Bureau must release the results of the election 14 days after the final polling stations close. 

The National Electoral Bureau announced in December 2021 that 297,859,377 people were on the electoral roll. There are 425,108 polling stations averaging about 700 voters per station. Around 3,500,000 individuals and 14,507 companies vote in occupational constituencies. 28 million people are involved in the running of the electoral process consisting of election officers and polling station guards. A budget of €3.2 billion has been allocated to hold the election.
