|The | | The Federal President of Lusotanie is elected by the Federal Assembly, an institutional body that convenes exclusively for this purpose. It is composed of all members of the Federal Diet (the lower house of the federal parliament) and an equal number of representatives sent by the parliaments of the federal states (each state sends a number of representatives proportional to its population). The presidential election is conducted by secret ballot. In the first two rounds, the presidential candidate must obtain an absolute majority to win. If no candidate achieves an absolute majority in the first two rounds, the candidate with the simple majority is elected in the third round. The president is elected for a five-year term and may be re-elected once. The office is primarily ceremonial, playing an important role in representing Lusotanie at the national and international levels. The president also has some formal duties, such as promulgating laws, nominating the Head of the Federal Cabinet (prime minister) and having the authority to dissolve the Federal Parliament under certain circumstances. | ||

|The country holds election every 4 years, citizens aged 18 may choose to partake in election. In Norvinia, obtaining the result of the election is to count the first preferences marked for each candidate. If a candidate has an absolute majority (that is, fifty per cent plus one) on the first preferences or at any later stage of the count, that candidate is elected. The next step is to exclude the candidate with the fewest votes and sort those ballot papers to the next preference marked by the voter. This process of exclusion is repeated (to achieve the two party preferred figure) until there are only two candidates left in the count, even though one of those candidates may have been declared elected at an earlier stage. | |||

|Only citizens registered as voters are eligible to vote.In order to ensure that the winning candidate receives a majority of the vote, this system uses two rounds of voting with polling taking place on two separate days. Ballots are identical to those used in plurality voting, and voters mark them in the same way. In the first round, all candidates are listed on the ballot and voters indicate their preference of one of them. All these votes are then added up and if a candidate receives a majority of the vote (50% + 1 vote), that candidate is declared elected. If no one receives a majority, the field is cut down to the top two candidates who received the highest number of votes, and a runoff election is held. The second election is typically held several weeks after the first. The winner is the candidate who gets the most votes, which is inevitably a majority, since there are only two candidates running. | |Only citizens registered as voters are eligible to vote.In order to ensure that the winning candidate receives a majority of the vote, this system uses two rounds of voting with polling taking place on two separate days.

Representatives of the Federal Diet are elected every 4 years through a proportional representation system with closed lists by all citizens over the age of 18. Each political party decides before the elections which candidates will receive votes, meaning that candidates positioned at the top of the list are likely to secure a seat in the parliament, while those placed lower on the list are less likely to do so. The D'Hondt method is used to allocate seats, with a minimum requirement for political parties of 5% of the national vote or being the most voted party in three electoral districts. | |||

|The Federal Council is not elected through a direct electoral system. It is an institution representing the 16 federal states of Lusotanie. Members are appointed by the governments of the federal states. Each state sends a delegation, with the number of members depending on its size and population. The minimum is 3 members per state and the maximum is 10. Members from each one are appointed directly by their respective government, typically being ministers, senior officials or regional politicians. The Federal Council does not have a fixed number of representatives and can vary from year to year. There is no mandatory renewal process, and members are usually changed when the governing party in their respective state changes. The Federal Council participates in the federal legislative process and plays an important role in the creation of laws that affect the federal states. Many laws require the approval of this chamber to be enacted. It also has functions in areas such as federal administration and the relations between the federal government and the state governments. This system ensures that the interests of the federal states are represented in the legislative process and decision-making at the federal level, reflecting the political and institutional structure of Lusotanie. | |||
