tenure might be a better word. A term of office is the legal limit on the time someone can serve in a political position before re-election. In some countries, the terms for some offices can be indefinite, because elections can be called by parliament before the legal time limit of the term is expired.

- However, since one person can be re-elected, and hold office for more than one term, I would use the plural form or say "term or terms of office"
