Honduras elects on national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. The President of Honduras is elected for a four-year year term by the people. The unicameral National Congress (Congreso Nacional) has 128 members (diputados), elected for four year term by proportional representation to represent the country's various departments. Honduras' presidential elections are held on the last Sunday of November of the election year. The next presidential elections will occur on November 29, 2009.
