Senegal elects on the national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. The president is elected for a seven-year term by the people (between 2001 and 2008, it was a five-year term; this was changed back to the pre-2001 seven-year term in 2008, though incumbent president Macky Sall has stated he wants to have it reverted to five-year terms).
The National Assembly (Assemblée Nationale) has 150 members, elected for a five-year term, in multi-seat constituencies. Senegal has a multi-party system.
Electoral law
= Gender parity
=In 2010, as a result of feminist campaigning, Law 2010-11 of 28 May 2010 established "absolute parity" in all institutions that are "partially or totally" electoral. Lists of candidates have to alternate candidates of "the two sexes".
In the 2012 parliamentary election, 64 of the 150 seats (43%) were won by women candidates and in the 2022 election, 73 of the 165 seats (44%) were won by women.
