Niyaska has a bicameral legislative process involving the Niyaskan Stanora (officially the "House of Delegates" in Ænglish) and the Válora (likewise the "House of Auditors"). Executive power belongs to the Chief Executive (or Governor) of Niyaska, who is elected every six years and may serve a maximum of two consecutive terms and an unlimited number of non-consecutive terms. | ||
Unusually for a post-Restoration state, Niyaska continues to use {{wp|plurality voting}} for most elections, including the governorship, Stanora, and most local offices. Instant-runoff voting was introduced to fill constituency seats in the Válora in 21200. | |||
