House of Representatives

Main article: House of Representatives of Dazhdinia

The House of Representatives is elected for 4 year terms on years divisible by four. A total of 200 members is elected, however, these members are proportionally divided into 14 electoral constituencies, in which elections take place. Elections take place using the Hare quota, a form of proportional representation, on closed party lists.

Moreover, in every constituency, there is an electoral threshold of 5%. If a political party or alliance crosses this threshold in the set electoral constituency, they then participate in the apportionment of seats in the said constituency. However, if the party manages to cross the threshold in at least 3 constituencies, all other constituencies' thresholds are waived and they may participate in apportionment in all constituencies.

House of States of Dazhdinia

Main article: House of States of Dazhdinia
See also: Senate of Dazhdinia and Control House of Dazhdinia

The House of States is a formal joint session of the Senate and the Control House, which, following the unofficial establishment of a bicameral system on 1 January 2024, turned into a de facto upper house of the Dazhdin Parliament. Following this merger, the electoral law has been overhauled.

Electoral system

The four classes of senators and control commissioners (Bloc A, Bloc B, Bloc C, Bloc D)

Of the 133 members, 115 are formally senators and 18 are formally control commissioners.

All senators are elected in single-member constituencies in three classes, each of which has 38 seats. The boundaries of the constituencies may not cross the borders of the states. Each class is elected for 6 years, and elections are staggered, with each class's election being held 2 years apart from the others. Elections into the classes take place on odd-numbered years.

The senators are elected using a system of instant-runoff voting, where voters rank the candidates on the ballot from the most to the least preferred option.

The control commissioners are elected as supplementary members, with each state of Dazhdinia having one supplementary member per class (i.e. three in total). Supplementary members are elected using the Dowdall count system from the ranks of the candidates which failed to win in their constituencies. The candidate with the highest count score from among all the unsuccessful candidates of all the constituencies of the said state are automatically candidates for the position of the control commissioner.

Besides those three classes (legally referred to as Blocs, and being labelled Bloc A, Bloc B and Bloc C), there is one more seat to be elected, referred to as "Bloc D". It is a senator elected by the Dazhdin citizens living abroad. By law, elections take place at the same time as elections for the Sojem, which, by design, is elected always in conjunction with the House of Representatives, meaning that the senator from Bloc D is a single person from the whole House of States that serves a term of only 4 years instead of a 6 year term.

Substitutes would be elected along with the candidates to limit the probability of casual vacancies. by-elections are to be held for the position of the senator only if even the substitute is impeached, forced to resign or is unable to carry out the duties of the office. By-elections can also be held after a success of a recall petition with a number of signatures equal or greater than the ceiling function of the Dowdall count score of the current senator.

Parliamentary Assembly of CDANA

Main article: Parliamentary Assembly of CDANA

The Dazhdin ordinary members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of the Democratically-aligned nations of Argis are elected in a single at-large district using single transferable vote on closed lists. Each of the states is guaranteed at least one member in the Parliamentary Assembly, so all the party lists are required to have at least one representative from each of the member states and if the results do not represent all states, the last elected member of an overrepresented group is swapped for the representative of the missing state on the same party list.

Elections are to be held in conjunction with the elections into the House of Representatives and they are to be printed on blue paper and marked with the CDANA emblem to ensure, that it is clear they are different ballots from that of those to the House of Representatives.
