===Election and Terms===
The Peoples' Council is elected through a simple {{wp|Electoral system#Plurality systems|Plurality}} vote, with each seat linked to one county. It is the only government position in the country that native or naturalized residents without citizenship may vote for. Each county is given a Councilor with a term of three years, and while party figures typically win, there is nothing stopping a write-in candidate or a private citizen from joining in and being elected. This has resulted in one case of a small shrub being elected to office for an electorate in [[Connsmonann]] from 2004-07, which was humored by the government, which considered it a forfeiture of the electorate's representation. The bush died in 2007 before the next routine election and was replaced by a snap election. In cases of serious candidates, the term limit is three terms.
