How many constituencies are there in Zambia in 2026?

There are 226 constituencies in the 2026 Zambian general election, raised from 156 by constitutional amendment.

The old figure of 156 is still widely quoted, including in places on the Electoral Commission's own website. That is one reason results coverage sometimes disagrees about how far along the count is: a reporting percentage is a fraction, and two trackers using different denominators will disagree even when they agree on every vote.

The count stands at 226 of 226.
