Parliamentary elections would be held in Albania on 18 June. After a possible boycott was announced by the opposition parties, during a large political crisis that lasted 3 months, an agreement was reached between all the political parties on May 18, setting the new elections date on 25 June 2017.

The 140 members of Parliament will be elected in twelve multi-member constituencies based on the twelve counties using closed list proportional representation with an electoral threshold of 3% for parties and 5% for alliances. Seats are allocated to alliances using the d'Hondt system, then to political parties using the Sainte-Laguë method.

Demographic changes led to some changes in the number of seats for some constituencies; Tirana gained two seats and Durrës one, whilst Korça, Berat and Kukës all lost a seat
