The President of Bolivia (Spanish: Presidente de Bolivia) officially known as the President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (Spanish: Presidente del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia), is head of state and head of government of Bolivia. The Constitution says the president is elected by popular vote to a five-year term, renewable once.[1] In 2016, in a referendum the country voted to maintain term limits.[2] Since 2009, if no candidate wins a majority, the top two candidates advance to a runoff election.
Jeanine Áñez was the county's first female president.[3]
In October 2020, Luis Arce was elected president.
