Parliamentary elections were held in Transnistria on 30 November 2025 to fill all 33 seats in the Supreme Council. Legislation passed in July 2024 set the date and electoral framework.

Background Since 2005 Obnovlenie, led by Galina Antyufeeva (its Chairperson and Deputy Speaker), has dominated the Supreme Council. In the 2020 election, Obnovlenie secured 29 seats with independents taking the remaining 4 seats.

Election Early voting for the election began on 24 November. Those who could not go to the polling stations on 30 November for a justified reason were allowed to vote early.

Moldova's official position on the election was that it contradicted the Constitution of Moldova and the country's legislation and that it had no legal consequences for the region.

The election used first past the post across 33 single member districts.

45 candidates ran for a seat in the Supreme Council. In 21 electoral districts, there was only one candidate; since there was no voter turnout threshold in Transnistria, a single vote would be enough for them to win. Nevertheless, Transnistrian elections feature an "against all" option. On the other hand, in 12 electoral districts, there were two candidates.

Minor parties remained weak or inactive in this electoral round.

Conduct No independent election monitors were present, and media and civil society continued to operate under constraints. Freedom House and other reports classified Transnistria as not meeting democratic standards, highlighting limited pluralism and restricted candidate access.

Results The official turnout was 26.04%, a record low, with 102,600 voters out of a total 394,000 people registered to vote. As of 2 December, only a preliminary list of the 33 elected parliament members had been published, with all belonging to the party Obnovlenie, which was under the control of oligarch Viktor Gushan's Sheriff company.

According to Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service (SZRU), the election demonstrated that Transnistria's "rupture with Moscow is deepening". In a report, the SZRU stated that the extremely low turnout, the lack of competition in the election and Obnovlenie's absolute control over the Supreme Council indicated a growing gap between "the occupation administration and the population", predicting that social discontent in Transnistria would intensify amid economic problems, pressure from tariffs and reduced Russian support.
