November 2143
The elections of October to November 2143 were the first-ever, held to fill the first Senate of Ad'ihan after Ad'ihan was granted self-governance.
Structure of Senate
The structure of the Senate, and elections, in 2143 were as follows:
- 56 seats in Senate
- 60% supermajority (34 votes) to pass any legislation
- Ad'ihan is divided into four regions, with each party naming a team of two candidates to stand in each region, whose elections are staggered one week apart from each other. The results of each of the four elections are released at the same time after all four elections to avoid voter intimidation. The winners of each of the four regional elections automatically gain two seats in the Senate, filled by the winning candidates. The results of the regional elections are then added together, and the final vote percentage at a national level determines the makeup of the remaining 44 seats. These remaining Senators have no obligation to any voting region and are filled by party members by various means.
