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.

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:

First two convocations were indirectly elected by the state legislatures.

  •   SCI – Sekidean Communist International, currently represented by 9 MSPs
