{{Politics of Burundi}}
[[Burundi]] elects a [[head of state]] – the [[President (government title)|president]] – and a [[legislature]] on the national level. The [[National Assembly of Burundi|National Assembly]] (''Assemblée nationale'') has 111 members, elected for a five-year term by [[proportional representation]] with a 2% barrier. The [[Senate of Burundi|Senate]] (''Sénat'') has 13 members, elected for a five-year term by electoral colleges of communal councilors. Extra seats in both chambers can be added to ensure that ethnic and gender [[Racial quota|quota]]s are met. Burundi has a [[multi-party]] system, with two or three strong parties and a third party that is electorally successful. Parties are usually based on ethnic background.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Weinstein|first=Warren|date=1972|title=Tensions in Burundi|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/african-issues/article/abs/tensions-in-burundi/33E8F3E162CA6B868A2E47EA123C4CB1|journal=African Issues|language=en|volume=2|issue=4|pages=27–29|doi=10.1017/S0047160700008283|issn=0047-1607|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
