LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM
Legislative Chamber
Each of the 83 provinces (ratudahen) of the country has its Legislative Chamber (Wali Wayadate). Every 4 years, 50% of the deputies (tawayadat)are elected for a mandate of 8 years. The number of deputies in the Chambers vary according to provincial population: 10 deputies for provinces up to 10,000 inhabitants; 16 up to 100,000; 24 up to 1,000,000; 40 deputies for Purikali (above 1,000,000 inhabitants).
The Parliament
The Parliament (Haimauman), unicameral, comprises 74 senators (awayuni) since 2012, when the number of chairs was reduced from 100. Every 4 years, 50% of the senators are elected for a mandate of 8 years, from 15 electoral districts (see map below). The number of senators are proportional to the population of each district. The prime minister is chosen by the Parliament, based on the absolute majority, for a renewable mandate of 4 years.
