Belarus is a presidential republic with a centralized government system in which a President serves as head of state and government with considerable executive authority. They are elected through popular vote for five-year terms with no term limits or restrictions.

Belarus' legislature, known as the National Assembly, is a bicameral legislature consisting of both House of Representatives and the Council of the Republic. House of Representatives members are elected for four-year terms using a mixed electoral system; Council of Republic members are appointed by President, local councils, or other bodies and appointed to serve six-year terms each.

Belarusian judiciary falls under the control of its President, with the Supreme Court being the highest court and Constitutional Court having jurisdiction for interpreting the constitution and ruling on whether laws violate its provisions.

Belarus' government has long been accused of violating fundamental mental rights such as speech, press, assembly free elections and political opposition suppression. Yet recently, there have been signs that Belarus is making efforts towards democratic reform, with its relations with Western nations improving slightly.
