Since 1965, Peru has been a unitary parliamentary republic. The country has a Head of State and a Head of Government, who take the role as chief of the executive branch. Both figures are elected by popular vote every four years, and have the right to be re-elected once. The parliament, on the other hand, is renewed by popular vote every five years, with no possibility of re-election. Peru is also contemplated with a Supreme Court composed of ten ministers appointed by the Head of Government. The term in the Supreme Court lasts until retirement age.
==== Administrative divisions ====▼
Since the establishment of the Peruvian Republic, the country has been organized in 3 specially administered cities - Lima, Cusco and La Paz - and 29 provinces. Peruvian provinces have a reduced autonomy due to the unitary status of the country. The chief of the executive in the provinces and the specially administered cities is the City Governor and Provincial Governor, respectively. Both elected by popular vote every four years, they are subjects to the national government in Cusco.
