The House of Representatives is the lower house of the bicameral StrayaRoos Parliament, the upper house being the Senate. Its composition and powers are set down in Chapter II of the Constitution of StrayaRoos.

The term of members of the House of Representatives is a set four years from the previous one, held on the second Saturday in June, with Parliament dissolving on the first week of May before the new one is sl. Elections for members of the House of Representatives are always held in conjunction with those for the Senate, but the elections for the Senate are not always held in conjunction with the House. A member of the House may be referred to as a "member of parliament" ("MP" or "member"), while a member of the Senate is usually referred to as a "senator".

The House currently consists of 362 members of Parliament, 180 elected through single-member Single Transferable Vote electorate seats, and 181 elected through closed party list proportional representation, determined via first viable preferences in the electorate seats, utilising the third iteration of the Roosian MMP system, which has been used since the foundation of the Parliament in it's current form. The original interim house, which was in session between the foundation of the nation in August 1889 and the first election in June 1890, utilised Group Ticket STV proportional representation to elect 15 representatives.
