Elections in Côte d'Ivoire gives information on election and election results in Côte d'Ivoire.
Côte d'Ivoire 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 (Assemblée Nationale) has 225 members, elected for a five year term in single-seat constituencies. Côte d'Ivoire is a one party dominant state with the Ivorian People's Front in power. Opposition parties are allowed, but are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power. Following a peace deal between the government and former rebels in March 2007, the next elections were planned to be held in early 2008. These elections however, have been postponed to November 2009 first and to early 2010 than.
