French Polynesia elects the Assembly of French Polynesia (Assemblée de la Polynésie française), the unicameral legislature at the territorial level. The Assembly has 57 members, elected for five-year terms by proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies. French Polynesia has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, making it difficult to be elected under the banner of another party.

In June 2011, the electoral law was changed to a two-round system with a bonus of a third of the seats for the winning list in the second round, with the rest of the seats distributed proportionally; the electoral threshold to advance to the second round is 12.5%.^[1]
