{{Politics of Chad}}
[[Chad]] holds [[elections]] on national level for a [[head of state]] – the [[President of Chad|president]] –  and a [[legislature]]. The president is elected for a five-year term by the people. The [[National Assembly of Chad|National Assembly]] (''Assemblée Nationale'') has 155 members, elected for a four-year term in 25 single-member [[constituency|constituencies]] and 34 multi-member [[constituency|constituencies]].
Chad is a [[one party dominant state]] with the [[Patriotic Salvation Movement]] in power, although according to the [[African Union]],  elections in Chad are generally free and fair. [[Human Rights Watch]], however, has criticized the election process in Chad, arguing that they have problems such as [[electoral fraud]], multiple voting, underage voting, and low voter turnout.<ref>World Report Book 2008.
