Elections in Costa Rica gives information on elections and election results in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica elects on national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. The President of Costa Rica is, together with two vice-presidents, elected for a four year term by the people. The Legislative Assembly (Asamblea Legislativa) has 57 members, elected for a four year term by proportional representation in each province.

Costa Rica had a two-party system, which means that there were two dominant political parties, making it extremely difficult for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party. Since the last elections more parties achieved electoral success.
