The '''2024 Volkian presidential election''' will be the 35th quadrennial [[Elections in Volkia#Presidential elections|presidential election]] and is scheduled for July 1, 2024. The current president, [[Yuliya Surkova]], will be ineligible to be elected to a third term due to term limits in the [[Constitution of Volkia|Volkian Constitution]]. This election will choose the 21st [[President of Volkia|President]] and 20th [[Vice President of Volkia|Vice President]] of [[Volkia]].
Presidential elections will be held in [[Volkia]] on June 16, 2024, with a possible second round to be held on June 30, 2024 if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote.
