President of the Government of Navarre

The president of the Government of Navarre (), is the head of government of the devolved government of the Chartered Community of Navarre.

Election Investiture processes to elect the regional president require for an absolute majority—more than half the votes cast—to be obtained in the first ballot. If unsuccessful, a new ballot will be held 24 hours later requiring only of a simple majority—more affirmative than negative votes—to succeed. If such majorities are not achieved, successive candidate proposals would be processed under the same procedure. In the event of the investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a three-month period from the election date, the Parliament will be automatically dissolved and a snap election called.

Upon their election, regional presidents are appointed by Royal Decree of the Monarch, countersigned by the Prime Minister.
