The Parliament of the Republic (Elyrian: Ichoria parliament elyrian.png, Palodeyon kao Valadras) is the bicameral legislature of the Ichorian Republic. It is composed of a lower house, named the Assembly, and an upper house, named the Senate. Both houses' approval is necessary for the passage of legislation.

Each house has its own regulations and rules of procedure. However, they may occasionally meet as a single house, the Parliamentary Plenary of the Republic, to revise and amend the Constitution of Ichoria. The parliament convenes at the Palace of the Republic, the site of an old Vayonist Chapter, in the Ichorian capital city of Azhara.

The Senate

The Senate is the upper house of the Ichorian parliament. It is composed of 60 members elected by direct popular vote. Senators represent a single constituent region of Ichoria, with each region being represented by six senators regardless of population. All senators serve staggered terms of eight years, with three seats per constituent region up for election every four years.

The presiding officer of the house, elected among the senators, is known as the Chairman of the Senate. The Chairman has the power to call votings that result in a tie, therefore, in a gesture of good faith, the office is usually attributed to an independent senator. In the Chairman's absence, the Interim Chairman, who is customarily the majority coalition leader, presides over the Senate, though only in a moderating capacity and lacking the power to call votings.

The Assembly

The Assembly is the lower house of the Ichorian parliament. It is composed of directly elected deputies representing electoral districts, known as circumscriptions, that are allocated on a regional basis and on the basis of population. The Ichorian constitution mandates a distribution of around one Assembly deputy per 250,000 citizens, meaning that, unlike the fixed number of seats in the Senate, the Assembly's size is proportional to the country's growing or waning population.

There are currently 290 deputies, each elected by a single-member constituency through a two-round voting system. Thus, 146 seats are required to form a majority. The assembly is presided over by the Chairman of the Assembly, who is usually the majority coalition leader and who, like his counterpart in the Senate, has the power to call votings that result in a tie. The term of the Assembly is four years.
