Elections in Lithuania gives information on election and election results in Lithuania.
Lithuania elects on national level a head of state -- the president -- and a legislature. The president is elected for a five year term by the people. The parliament (Lietuvos Respublikos Seimas) has 141 members, elected to a four year term, with 71 members elected in single-seat constituencies and 70 members elected by proportional representation. Lithuania has a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.
