The Federal Government, officially the The Government of Morrawia is a political structure that works as a legislative, executive and judiciary of the Federal Republic of Morrawia. It uses a bicameral legislative system.

Political parties & movements

As of now, in Morrawia, there are officially 12 parties registered which did run for the latest House elections (2020) in all Provinces of Morrawia, from which 5 managed to get their representation in the House of Representatives (that is getting >5% in the elections) and 6 in the Senate.

There are many political parties existing on provincial, municipal and other levels, such as the "United Elbennia Movement" in the Elbennia, german-speaking Province of Morrawia, which is trying for almost all of history to be more autonomous. As of March 2022, there are about 17,400 registered political groups, clubs, movements, or municipal groups hoping to develop their local area.

Elections

Timing of elections

Senate: Every 2 years ⅓ of the senate is replaced in a vote
House of Representatives: Every 4 years
Regional and municipal: Every 4 years for local Houses and every 2 years for local Senates

Process of elections

Morrawia has very decentralized election system. There are two types: Federal and Provincial. Federal elections to the House of Representatives are held every 4 years and for the Senate, ⅓ of the Senate is elected every 2 years with a term of 6 years in total for every senator. Since 1995 all federal elections are considered a public holiday and two days for House and Senate elections every year are days, with no school and no work. People can vote either in a polling place in every town or city, or can mail-in their ballots before the election days start. Votes are than counted the last day of an election and finally declared the day after. Due to proportional voting system, no one´s vote is wasted, except only if their candidate gets less than five percent of the votes. Presidential elections are happening every 4 years and are separate from elections to legislature. These elections are two-round proportional voting and if one candidate doesnt get at least 50% of votes, second round happens.

No campaign time

7 days before elections, it is prohibited to air political campaign rallys, do those rallys or spread any advertisement concerning the elections, otherwise they can face the fine of up to 100 000 tollars. 3 days before elections, media are prohibited from posting last-minute public opinion polls. Those rules are put in place to ensure, that there isn't a last-minute agenda push that can sway people's emotions and not their rationality.

Federal Congress (Legislature)

House of Representatives

House of Representatives has 696 members from every Province. Elections are held every 4 years and seats are proportionally distributed per votes.

The Senate of the Republic

The Senate has 120 seats, which are distributed proportionally per votes, but only third of the seats are replaced every 2 years and votes are offset by 2 years (meaning that it takes a minimum of 6 years to completely change a senate). Political party can get 59 seats max, ensuring the need for a coalition to control the Senate.
