Following the formation of the government of national emergency, the lower house was abolished and all its powers and duties were transferred to the High Council of State. The council is the nation's sole legislature, composed of six hundred members. Of these, a third are chosen by the sitting president, 330 are elected by direct vote of the population and the remaining 70 are elected from proportional lists according to each parties voting results.
