Togo to Hold Next Municipal Polls on July 10, 2025

(Togo First) - Togo will hold municipal elections on July 10, 2025. The Council of Ministers announced the date after its meeting on April 30 in Lomé. The government issued a decree to formalize the election schedule.

The electoral campaign will start at midnight on June 24 and end at 11:59 p.m. on July 8. During these two weeks, candidates will present their programs and defend their political positions nationwide.

Authorities set the candidate deposit at CFA50,000. Women will pay CFA25,000, half the amount for men, to encourage more women to run for office.

The government allocated CFA500 million for public campaign funding. All candidates will share 65% of this budget equally. The remaining 35% will go to parties that receive at least 10% of the votes, distributed according to their results.

Security forces will oversee the election process nationwide. The government scheduled early voting for July 7 for law enforcement officers. This measure allows them to vote without interrupting their security duties on election day.
