A regional election will be held in the Azores, no later than October 2020, to determine the composition of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of the Azores. The election will renovate all 57 members of the assembly.

In this election, the incumbent president of the regional government, led by the Socialist Vasco Cordeiro, is expected to seek a third term, in order to further consolidate the Socialist Party's rule from 1996.

MPs are allocated by using the D'Hondt method. 5 members are also elected for a Compensation constituency. Current distribution of MPs by constituency:
