The election of the Federal President consists of several activities. In electing the President and two Vice-Presidents of the Federation, at least one-third of the delegates of the respective Bosniak, Croat or Serb caucuses in the House of Peoples may nominate the President, and two Vice-Presidents of the Federation. After that, the House of Representatives needs to approve President and Vice-Presidents, and after that House of Peoples decides to confirm the decision of the House of Representatives by the majority of votes of all three caucuses.[2]

The president can be dismissed from office after Federal Constitutional Court approves the request from the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Before the request was sent, two-thirds of Parliament need to vote for it.[2]

There is an unwritten rule applied since 1999 that while the President is always of Croat ethnicity, the Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a Bosniak.
