Elections in the DSR Badara

According to Badaran law, elections in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Badara must occur at least once every four years, with the simultaneous elections of the General Secretary (one of the dual heads of state), the entirety of the membership of the National Congress of the Vanguard (the legislature), and the governorships and legislatures of the Democratic Socialist States. However, the National Congress may at any time call an early election; in addition to this, constitutional law mandates early elections in a number of situations.

The DSR Badara has a multi-party system, with four major parties forming the two major political blocs: the Red Vanguard Consortium and Defenders of the Vanguard on one hand, and the United Justice Party and Republican Democratic Alliance (collectively known as the Badaran Democratic League) on the other. Political participation and voter turnout has traditionally been impressively high, although it has declined somewhat in recent years due to the dissolution of a number of political parties.
