The President of the French Republic is represented by the High Commissioner of the Republic in French Polynesia (Haut-Commissaire de la République en Polynésie française). The government is headed by the President of French Polynesia. He submits as Council of Ministers a list of members of the Territorial Assembly, the Assembly of French Polynesia (Assemblée de la Polynésie française), for approval by them to serve as ministers.

French Polynesia elects the Assembly of French Polynesia (Assemblée de la Polynésie française), the unicameral legislature on the territorial level. The Assembly of French Polynesia has 57 members, elected for a five-year term by proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies. Since the territorial elections of March 6, 2001, the parity bill now binds that the number of women matches the number of men at the Assembly.

The members of the Assembly of French Polynesia are elected in 6 different electoral districts or electoral circumscriptions ({{langx|fr|circonscriptions électorales}}) which slightly differ from the administrative subdivisions (subdivisions administratives) on the Tuamotus and the Gambier Islands. The 6 electoral circumscriptions (circonscriptions électorales) are:

• electoral circumscription of the Windward Islands (circonscription des Îles du Vent) (37 members)
• electoral circumscription of the Leeward Islands (circonscription des Îles Sous-le-Vent) (8 members)
• electoral circumscription of the Austral Islands (circonscription des Îles Australes) (3 members)
• electoral circumscription of the Gambier Islands and the Islands Tuamotu-East (circonscription des Îles Gambier et Tuamotu Est) (3 members)
• electoral circumscription of the Islands Tuamotu-West (circonscription des Îles Tuamotu Ouest) (3 members)
• electoral circumscription of the Marquesas Islands (circonscription des Îles Marquises) (3 members)

Court of Appeal or Cour d'Appel; Court of the First Instance or Tribunal de Premiere Instance; Court of Administrative Law or Tribunal Administratif.

French Polynesia has five administrative subdivisions ({{langx|fr|subdivisions administratives}}):
