Cuba Communist State: Power is in one strong central government with a President as both the head of state and head of government. This is known as a unitary form of government. The central, strong government does NOT share power with the states or local government. Citizens elect members of a unicameral legislature and the President.

Citizens in Cuba The Communist Party is the only legally-recognized political party in Cuba. Candidates endorsed or supported by the Communist Party run unopposed for office. Citizens over the age of 16 may vote, but there are very few choices. There is no Independence Day; there is a national holiday on January 1, “Triumph of the Revolution”.
