Elections in Azerbaijan gives information on election and election results in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan 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; before a referendum changed this in 2009, the position was limited to two terms. The National Assembly (Milli Məclis) has 125 members. Before 2005 100 members elected for a five year term in single-seat constituencies and 25 members elected by proportional representation. Since 2005 all 125 members are elected in single-seat constituencies. Azerbaijan is a one party dominant state. Parties beside the New Azerbaijan Party are allowed but suppressed when in opposition.
On Sunday, 6 November 2005, elections for parliament were held. On Wednesday, 15 October 2008, the most recent presidential election was held.
