Iceland elects on a national level a ceremonial head of state, the president - and a legislature. The president is elected for a four-year term by the people. The parliament (Alþingi) has 63 members, elected for a four-year term by proportional representation, using the D'Hondt method with open list. Iceland has a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which no one party typically has a chance of gaining power alone, so parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.
The most recent election was held on 28 October 2017.

gollark: Existential risks are very scary that way. Especially universal ones.
gollark: I figure if you have the super-advanced technology which is necessary to make this somewhat work, you might as well try and have an actual nice modern-ish society based on that.
gollark: That sounds problematic if you run into bugs or something.
gollark: I guess you could maybe do that if you had very advanced technology to do that with in the first place? It would probably be hard if it broke and you had to edit it in some way, though.
gollark: Techno-primitivism: because advanced technology totally doesn't need expensive large infrastructure to make and maintain!
