List of political parties in Magisteria

Above the broad range of political parties in the Magisterian National Parliament, the Party of Democratic Egalitarians, the Magisterian Democratic Party, the Liberal Party, the Nationalist Progressive Movement, and the Democratic Revolution together control the absolute majority of seats in the unicameral legislature.

Since 1962, Magisterian political parties have been given an electoral number to make it easier for illiterate people to vote. Initially, it was a one-digit number: 1 for the NRC, 2 for the MDP, and the other numbers go to the then-third minor parties. When it became clear that there was going to be more than a few parties, two-digit numbers were assigned, with the first five parties having a "1" added to their former one-digit number (NRC becoming number 11, MDP becoming number 12, and the list goes on). Often political parties change their names but retain their number.

Prior to Magisteria's multi-party system, the political system was under a two-party system, with the centre-left Magisterian Democratic Party, and the centre-right National Republican Coalition dominating the system up until 2021 when a new Constitution was ratified and later in effect, dropping the two-party system in favour of the multi-party system.
