This article lists political parties and organizations in the Latium. The first political parties began to officially form in the mid 1860s at the advent of the political reforms of Theophylactus I Augustus. Initially these parties formed around prominent figures in the Senate, often reshuffling at every election. Today, the two largest senatorial factions are the center-right Populares and the center-left Progressis.

History
Senatorial factions
According to Senate rules, and later Imperial Edict, modern political parties are prohibited from the Senate. However, under the theory of virtual representation, parties or factions are necessary in order for elections to be carried out. To enable the fulfillment of elections, the Sacred Assembly sanctions official senate factions. To qualify as a faction, a group of citizens must present an electoral list of no fewer than 350 eligible voters, 100,000 verified signatures supporting the faction, pay a filing fee of $500,000, and an organizing committee with distinct leadership. Upon submission of all requirements, the Imperial Election Committee vets all lists and faction members. Individuals on electoral lists must resign from any political party affiliations upon sanctioning of a senate faction. Senate factions and modern political parties, even if loosely affiliated, are legally separate entities, but often share similar leadership. For example, the first modern political parties formed from former members of the now defunct Medietas faction.
The Populares are the oldest extant senate faction, and are the only faction to predate the electoral process; it has participated in every election since 1866. Boni is the second oldest faction, and currently the second largest, while Aliis is the most recently established faction, first earning faction status in 2017. Independent senators are rare due to electoral requirements, and are most often individuals appointed by the Emperor whose seats are not bound by election. These independent senators are often granted special dispensation to forgo joining a faction, which are collectively referred to as Independentes.
