Elections in the Republic of Navonia are organized every five years by the thirty-six election districts which coincide with the Navonian provinces. Through these elections a national parliament is chosen directly by the people. The first election was in 1921 and since then seventeen times national elections have been held. Elections have been suspended once in 1941 due to the unrest on the international scene. The next elections are scheduled for February 13, 2011. According to the Navonian law, only recognized political parties may participate. Political parties which are currently recognized are PULP, Democratic Union, Reform and Liberty Party, Conservative Party and New Greens.
The total amount of seats in parliament is 120, which means that a normal majority requires at least 61 representatives in favor. For a constitutional amendment, 90 positive votes is the minimum.

Map of the outcome at the most local level
The elections of 2011 are the latest elections, held in February 2011. Parties that participated are: PULP, Democratic Union, the Conservative Party and the Reform & Liberty Party. As was predicted by the media and political observers the former coalition between PULP and DU remained in power. One liberal minister was however taken up in the government, to satisfy the hopes on a policy supported by a broader base than was previously the case. Also, during the elections there was pressure to allow the Integrationist League and the Selessian Front to participate This proposal was nonetheless blocked by PULP which heavily opposes more plurality.
