The 2024 Azorean regional election was held on 4 February 2024,[https://www.publico.pt/2023/12/11/politica/noticia/presidente-dissolve-assembleia-acores-marca-eleicoes-4-fevereiro-2073271 Presidente dissolve Assembleia dos Açores e marca eleições para 4 de Fevereiro] Público, 11 December 2023. Retrieved 11 December 2023. to determine the composition of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of the Azores. The election replaced all 57 members of the Azores Assembly, and the new members would then elect the President of the Autonomous Region. It was the first snap election since Azores gained its autonomy in 1976.[https://www.dn.pt/3864607085/230-mil-eleitores-decidem-este-domingo-o-futuro-dos-acores/ 230 mil eleitores decidem este domingo o futuro dos Açores] Diário de Notícias, 4 February 2024.

President José Manuel Bolieiro, from the Social Democratic Party (PSD), led a coalition government between the Social Democrats, the CDS – People's Party (CDS-PP) and People's Monarchist Party (PPM), with the parliamentary support of CHEGA since late 2020. The Liberal Initiative (IL) initially supported the PSD coalition government but withdrew their support from the government on 8 March 2023.[https://www.publico.pt/2023/03/08/politica/noticia/il-rompe-acordo-governacao-psd-acores-2041586 IL rompe com PSD nos Açores e ex-Chega imita-o.

The Social Democrats, the CDS – People's Party and the People's Monarchist Party contested this election in a joint coalition as stipulated in their 2020 coalition agreement.[https://tvi24.iol.pt/politica/cds-pp/acordo-politico-entre-psd-cds-e-ppm-nos-acores-e-para-duas-legislaturas Acordo político entre PSD, CDS e PPM nos Açores é para duas legislaturas] TVI24, 14 November 2020. Retrieved 1 December 2020.
The PSD/CDS/PPM coalition won the election with 42 percent of the votes and elected 26 seats, the same number as of 2020. The Socialist Party (PS) failed to be the most voted party for the first time since 1996, gathering less than 36 percent of the votes and electing 23 seats, minus two compared with 2020.[https://www.publico.pt/2024/02/04/politica/noticia/eleicoes-acores-cne-declaracoes-bolieiro-nao-violam-lei-2079235 Açores: “Governarei em maioria relativa.

CHEGA was the party that most increased its share, achieving 9 percent of the votes and electing 5 seats to the regional parliament.[https://24.sapo.pt/atualidade/artigos/chega-acores-mais-do-que-duplicamos-desde-as-ultimas-eleicoes-e-isto-so-pode-ser-considerado-uma-grande-vitoria Chega/Açores: "Mais do que duplicámos desde as últimas eleições e isto só pode ser considerado uma grande vitória"] Sapo, 4 February 2024. Retrieved 5 February 2024. The party's result was seen as a prelude to next month's general election in which Chega saw a surge in support as well. The Left Bloc (BE) lost ground, compared with 2020, losing one seat, while the Liberal Initiative (IL) and the People-Animals-Nature (PAN) were able to hold on to their sole seats. The Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU) failed to return to the regional parliament.
Turnout stood at 50.3 percent, the highest rate since 2004.
Background

The PSD/CDS-PP/PPM coalition government was, since the beginning, marred by instability due to political tensions between or within parties, especially CHEGA, which even lost a member of the regional Parliament during the Parliamentary term.[https://www.publico.pt/2021/07/14/politica/noticia/chegaacores-perde-lider-deputado-carlos-furtado-passa-independente-alegria-1970439 Chega-Açores perde líder e um deputado: Carlos Furtado passa a independente “com alegria”] Público, 14 July 2021.

Following these announcements, that made the government lose its majority, President José Manuel Bolieiro rejected the idea of a motion of confidence and said that he will continue to govern, but that elections could be on the table.[https://www.jn.pt/nacional/bolieiro-recusa-mocao-de-confianca-e-ser-fator-de-instabilidade-15967446.html Bolieiro recusa moção de confiança e ser "fator de instabilidade"] Jornal de Notícias, 8 March 2023.

=Rejection of the budget proposal for 2024=
In 23 November 2023, the parliament of Azores failed to approve the regional government's budget proposal for 2024. 28 MPs voted against it, 27 MPs voted in favor and 2 MPs abstained. The votes against it were cast by PS (25), BE (2) and IL (1). The votes in favor were by PSD (21), CDS-PP (3), PPM (2) and the independent MP Carlos Furtado (1). CHEGA (1) and PAN (1) abstained. According to the Framework Law for the Budget of the Autonomous Region of the Azores, the regional government must present a new budget proposal within 90 days of the rejection of the previous proposal. The president of the regional government, José Manuel Bolieiro, said he wanted to present a new budget proposal. That same day, the President of Portugal scheduled meetings for 30 November, at the Belém Palace in Lisbon, with the parties represented in the parliament of Azores.{{cite news |last1=Henriques |first1=João |title=Parlamento dos Açores chumba orçamento.

On the meeting with the President of Portugal, in 30 November, José Manuel Bolieiro said that it seemed pointless to present a second budget proposal without a guarantee of its approval and that early regional legislative elections should be held as quickly as possible. He suggested the date of 4 February 2024 for the elections and announced that PSD, CDS-PP and PPM would run together as a coalition. PS, CDS-PP, BE, PPM and IL also said they wanted early elections.{{cite news |last1=Martins |first1=Susana |title=PSD quer eleições antecipadas nos Açores.

Electoral system
The Azores regional parliament elects 57 members through a proportional system in which the 9 islands elect a number of MPs proportional to the number of registered voters. MPs are allocated by using the D'Hondt method. 5 members are also elected for a compensation constituency.

Aftermath
The PSD/CDS/PPM coalition failed to win an outright majority but, nonetheless, the right-wing parties, altogether, won a strong majority of 32 seats.[https://www.noticiasaominuto.com/politica/2495464/direita-conquista-maioria-dos-deputados-nos-acores-com-31-assentos Direita conquista maioria dos deputados nos Açores com 31 assentos] Notícias ao Minuto, 5 February 2024. Retrieved 11 February 2024. However, any kind of deal between the Coalition, Chega and the Liberal Initiative would prove very difficult due to deep disagreements between parties, and José Manuel Bolieiro announced he would govern as a minority.[https://eco.sapo.pt/2024/02/05/bolieiro-diz-que-vai-governar-nos-acores-com-uma-maioria-relativa/ Bolieiro diz que vai governar nos Açores com “uma maioria relativa”] Eco, 5 February 2024.

Bolieiro asked for "common sense" from the PS, but the Socialists announced that they would vote against a PSD/CDS/PPM minority.[https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/politica/decisao-do-ps-acores-e-de-voto-contra-governo-da-ad_n1549654 Decisão do PS Açores é de "voto contra" governo da AD ] RTP, 10 February 2024.
