Brazil is a federal, presidential, constitutional republic (official name: República Federativa do Brasil). Key features:

- Federal system: 26 states + the Federal District and municipalities share powers with the national government.
- Presidential: the President is both head of state and head of government, elected by direct popular vote (4-year term, can be re-elected once consecutively). Presidential elections use a two-round system if no candidate wins an absolute majority in the first round.
- Constitutional republic and representative democracy: powers are separated among the Executive, the bicameral Legislative (National Congress: Federal Senate and Chamber of Deputies), and the Judiciary (headed by the Supreme Federal Court).
- Multi‑party system and universal suffrage for citizens 16 years and older ( voting is compulsory for ages 18–70, optional for 16–17 and 70+).
