Elections in Uruguay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uruguay elects on national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature.
Uruguay has a stable multi-party system. The two "traditional parties" (Colorado Party and National Party) were founded in 1836, and were predominant for over a century. The Broad Front coalition was created in 1971, including members such as the Socialist Party (founded in 1910) and the Communist Party (founded in 1920).
