Paraguay

The Paraguayan capital will have a larger voter roll than in the last elections and a female majority. According to Electoral Justice data cited by ABC Color, foreign participation also remains low.
Asunción will have 452,283 eligible voters for the municipal elections on October 4, 2026, according to data from the Electoral Justice cited by ABC Color.
Of the total, 443,962 are Paraguayan and 8,321 are foreign nationals, according to the Superior Court of Electoral Justice. The newspaper notes that this reflects still limited foreign participation within the capital’s voter roll.
A female majority among eligible voters also remains. Again according to data published by ABC Color, there are 238,226 women and 214,057 men eligible to vote in Asunción.
The voter roll also shows growth compared with previous elections. In the 2021 municipal elections, 431,876 people were eligible, while in the 2023 general elections the figure reached 438,618. Between the last two municipal elections, the increase was 20,407 voters.
ABC Color added that the capital is divided into six electoral districts: La Encarnación, La Catedral, San Roque, La Recoleta, Santísima Trinidad and Zeballos Cué. Using data from the 2023 voter roll, the district with the largest number of voters is San Roque, with 140,000, followed by La Recoleta, with 110,000, and Santísima Trinidad, with 100,000.
