6 candidates
What it is. This counts the presidential candidates the electoral commission has approved to appear on the first-round ballot. It records who has cleared the approval stage, so it reflects the commission's decisions on eligibility. It carries no information about how much support each candidate has.
Neither way is good in itself. A larger field gives voters more choice but can split the vote. A smaller field makes the choice simpler and leaves fewer options. Either can suit a healthy contest, so the count carries no verdict by itself. The latest figure, from 28 Sep 2026, is 6 candidates. That is both the lowest and the highest figure since Sep 2026, because it is the only reading in that span.
Why it matters. Voters in Cabo Verde will see 6 names on the first-round ballot. With that many candidates, the vote may spread widely, and the result will show whether the first round settles the contest. The share of votes won by each candidate on the day is the figure to check.
