The 2023 Lettuce extraordinary general election was held on Sunday 9 July 2023. Voters went to the polls to elect the full 45 assemblymen to serve an two-year term in the National Assembly.

This election is due to the lack of trust between the different parties that make up the National assembly, as well as the corruption cases associated with the ruling United Socialist Party of Lettuce. As a solution to the critical situation, a transversal agreement was signed in March 2023 between the legislative and executive powers to bring forward the election process to July 9, 2023.

Following an election reform in 2022, an electoral floor of 5% was established to obtain representation in the National Assembly. This was based on the need to ensure governability, as well as to avoid the growing political fragmentation that was occurring in the assembly.

More than 4 million people were called to vote, of which only 3.5 million cast their ballots. This represents the lowest turnout since the creation of the Bolivarian Republic in 2010.
