Bulgaria 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 National Assembly (Narodno Sabranie) has 240 members, elected for a four year term by proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies with a 4 % barrier. Bulgaria 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.
