The Federated States of Micronesia is a
federal presidential republic. The president is both head of state and government. There are no political parties in the Federated States of Micronesia, so all candidates and elected members are
independent. The Congress has fourteen members. Four of them represent one of the four federated states, and are elected for a four-year term by universal suffrage and by the citizens of their respective states. The remaining ten are elected by citizens by
single majority voting for two-year terms, from ten constituencies divided by population: five in the state of
Chuuk, one in the state of
Kosrae, three in the state of
Pohnpei, and one in the state of
Yap. After the legislative election, the
President and
Vice President are indirectly elected by Congress from among the Senators, for a maximum of two consecutive four-year terms. Their positions as Senators are filled by a new election. ==Results==
