Английская Википедия:Elections in Uruguay
Шаблон:Politics of Uruguay Uruguay elects on national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature.
Uruguay has a stable multi-party system. The two "traditional parties" (Colorado Party and National Party) were founded in 1836, and were predominant for over a century. The Broad Front coalition was created in 1971, including members such as the Socialist Party (founded in 1910) and the Communist Party (founded in 1920).
Presidential elections
The president and the vice-president are elected on one ballot for a five-year term by the people.
Each party must elect its candidates for President and Vice-President in primary elections, which are usually held in June. The selected candidates face the electorate in the general elections in October. If no candidate obtains the absolute majority of votes, there is a runoff between the two most-voted candidates.
Parliamentary elections
The General Assembly (Asamblea General) has two chambers. The Chamber of Deputies (Cámara de Diputados) has 99 members, elected for a five-year term by proportional representation with representation from the 19 departments. The Chamber of Senators (Cámara de Senadores) has 30 members elected for a five-year term by proportional representation at the national level, plus the Vice-president.
After the 2019 elections, seven parties are represented in the Chamber of Deputies and four in the Chamber of Senators.
