General elections are due to be held in Rwanda on 15 July 2024 to elect the president and members of the Chamber of Deputies.

A referendum in 2015 approved constitutional amendments that allow incumbent President Paul Kagame to run for a third term in office in 2017, as well as shortening presidential terms from seven to five years, although the latter change would not come into effect until 2024.

In 2022 Kagame told a French television channel that he intends to run for president again in the 2024 election, despite having already served three terms in office.
