[[Canada]] is a federal parliamentary democracy within a constitutional monarchy. The head of state is the Sovereign (currently QueenKing [[ElizabethCharles IIIII]]), and the head of government is the Prime Minister (currently Justin Trudeau). Any citizen at least 18 years old may vote in any election affecting the place where he or she lives, with two exceptions: the Chief Electoral Officer and Deputy Chief Electoral OfficersOfficer (for whom casting a ballot would be a conflict of interest).
 
A side effect of this system is a close similarity to the political systems of [[British Political System|Britain]], [[Irish Political System|Ireland]], [[Australian Politics|Australia]], and [[Indian Political System|India]].
