In accordance with the [[Trjbian Charter]], the legislative term cannot last longer than 4 years, and an election must be held within 6 months of its expiration or a vote of non-confidence. Trjebia uses a negative confidence system, meaning that the opposition must produce an absolute majority (27 votes) in order to dissolve the government, rather than the government needing to produce an absolute majority itself.
