Elections in Benin gives information on election and election results in Benin.
Benin 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 83 members, elected for a four year term by proportional representation. Benin has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties or coalitions, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party.
