The CoP's seats are elected through a simple {{wp|Electoral system#Plurality systems|Plurality}} vote, and the number of seats is determined by the raw population of the country. It is the only government position in the country that native or naturalized residents without citizenship may vote for, and seats are roughly apportioned one per million persons (previously one per half million until 1957). Each electoral division 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 [[Connsmonan]] 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 five terms.

CoW members are selected through a {{wp|Electoral system#Proportional systems|Proportional}} method, and are based on the number of citizens across the country. Total votes are tallied by party, and the relevant party organizations are given a certain number of seats to fill at the party's discretion based on their portion of the vote. There is roughly one Councilor in the CoW per million registered citizens, and the term is three years, with a maximum of six terms.

ICly because the lower house enjoys the media value of having to have full meetings outside since their wing is crammed, because it's the traditional building, and because the Starkists don't want to let the Futurists get their way and have a new building while they're ascendant, because they have the upper hand with the Nat Reps and the Confeds on their side for the actual design. The Futurists want a building that fuses traditional architectural looks with a wider and more modern layout, while the Starkists want a more neoclassical look.
