Parliamentary elections

Parties formed different alliances in different constituencies, making it impossible to determine a national set of vote figures.^[3] The election continued a decades-long trend of turnout being under 40% in the country, and the first-round elections were marred by violence in the north and center of the country.^[4] The Voice of America reported voter turnout of only 12% in Bamako because of concerns about COVID-19, violence, and voter indifference.^[5]
