Imagine a game where you get to stay in charge for a really long time, like 10 years or even your whole life. That’s what happens in some countries, they don’t have elections as often as others. It's kind of like if you played a game and only got to choose the next player once every few rounds instead of every round.
Examples
- In one country, the president is still the same person after ten years.
- A boy was born when the current president first took office and now watches his election on TV.
- Some presidents have been in charge for more than half of a child’s life.
