The 2026 Liberto-Ancapistanian general election will be held on Friday, 3 April 2026, to elect the 36th House of Commons of Liberto-Ancapistan. All 520 seats in the House of Commons will be up for election, including 20 newly created seats representing the autonomous regions of Compacipo and the Fayre Islands for the first time.

The term of the Third Bergen Government, beginning after the 2024 general election, saw relative stability both domestically and internationally compared to to the tumult of previous Progress governments, with a Progress-BFP coalition ending the 2023-2025 Santian Autonomy Crisis after protracted negotiations, and successfully integrating the autonomous regions of Liberto-Ancapistan into the national electoral framework for the first time. With the government increasingly beset by accusations of slowness and lacking a consistent policy of engaging with the federal subjects, Chancellor Casimir Bergen resigned as leader of Progress on 25 August 2026, having already pledged to stand down at the 2026 election. He was replaced as party leader after a short leadership election by finance minister Pierre Macs, long expected to be Bergen's successor.

To the right of the political spectrum, the resignation of Libertarian leader Martin Ohmdal was followed by a close leadership election won by centre-right Libertarya Province premier Rouya Arjmand, who began moving the Libertarian Party closer to the political centre while emphasising regionalism. Following revelations of tax avoidance by leader Ameus Grey in the Ezgram Papers, the Minarchist Coalition saw a collapse in popularity, losing control of the Bajazad Provincial Assembly and suffering a failed leadership challenge, leading to the formation of a breakaway competitor party, PILM. On the left, the Social Democratic Party continued to establish itself under the Chancellor-candidacy of Mişk Güney, while a number of minor far-left political parties formed an electoral alliance, United Left. In Alta Santia Province, the successful Populist Party announced its intention to run in national elections.
