Overview

The Sekidean Assembly (Before 2012 called the "Sekidean Parliament") has a number of seats fixed at 500 and is directly elected by the populace of the Inner Sekidean Union. It uses a special distribution method, to favor less populous countries, while the more populous need more people per single duputy. Current number of deputees is:

Deputies are elected using party-list proportional representation, with approval voting being applicable candidates on the ballot. If a member of the parliament dies, its replacement is automatically picked as the best ranking person on the ballot from the country he was from, that didn't make it into the parliament. The assembly can be dissolved, if ³/₄ of members vote for it (this has never happened as of 2022), else the term is 5 years. There have been 7 elections so far:
