The first round of the 2020 Ordennyan presidential election will be held on 7 May 2020. Should no candidate win a majority of the vote in the first round, a runoff will be held between the top two candidates two weeks later. The incumbent president is Johan Olsson, an Independent, who was appointed as Acting President when the Ordennyan government established the separate offices of President as head of state and Prime Minister as head of government.
