Local elections in Estonia

by Oliver Morwinsky, Sveta Pääru, Phillip Kremser

Setback for the ruling parties – tailwind for the opposition

Estonia elected its local representatives on October 19, 2025, following a week of early voting with nationwide e-voting. A total of 1,003,673 people were eligible to vote, of whom 593,818 (59.2 percent; as of October 20, 2025) took part in the election. In addition to numerous local alliances, the most important nationwide parties also ran in the election. The election was marked by a tense domestic political climate and noticeable economic pressures. The conservative Isamaa party was the clear winner. In Tallinn, the Center Party remained strong in predominantly Russian-speaking districts, while new and smaller forces fragmented the field. Nationwide, Isamaa benefited from significant momentum, while the Reform Party and EKRE lost considerable support.
