Elections in Pelaxia: Difference between revisions

The Regia is composed of 716 members directly elected by universal adult suffrage for a five-year term of office. Each one of Pelaxia's twenty-nine provinces is a constituency entitled to an initial minimum of two seats. The seats are allocated among the twenty-nine provinces in proportion to their populations. Parties, federations, coalitions and agrupaciones de electores (electors' groups) may present candidates or lists of candidates. The lists are closed, so electors may not choose individual candidates in or alter the order of such lists. Electors cast a ballot for a single list.

The seats in each constituency are apportioned according to the largest average method of proportional representation (PR) by the d'Hondt method. However, in order to participate in the allocation of seats, a list must receive at least three percent of all valid votes cast in the constituency, including blank ballots.  

There are 87 members: three for each province.  Senators are elected to five-year terms by direct election on a provincial basis, with the party with the most votes being awarded two of the province's senate seats and the second-place party receiving the third seat. Currently one-third of the members are elected every two years. One-third of the provinces hold senatorial elections every two years; there are no term limits.
