Nauru elects on a national level a head of state (the president) and a legislature. Parliament has 19 members (increased from 18 for the 2013 election), elected for a three-year term in multi-seat constituencies.[1] The president is elected for a three-year term by the parliament.
However, there are frequent changes of government in Nauru which occur without an election;[citation needed] most recently, in October 2023, when David Adeang was elected as the new President of Nauru following a no-confidence vote for Russ Kun.[2]
