Elections are to be held once every 5 years. Both houses are elected at the same time. Elections always start on Friday at 14:00 (2 PM) and end at 14:00 (2 PM) on Saturday.

Council of the Republic

Voters recieve a single ballot (in case that a lot subjects are running in the election, the ballot may be split onto multiple sheets of paper). It contains the list of parties and electoral coalitions, each with 3 listed candidates for the respective electoral region. Voters either mark one party by circling its name (giving all three preference votes to the three candidates of the party) or they can give votes to up to three candidates by circling their numbers. Those candidates to not have to be from the same party.

Seats are assigned using the D'Hondt method based on the candidating party, prefferencial votes are used to rank the candidates within the party.

Council of the People

Voters recieve multiple ballots, each belonging to one party or electoral coalition. It contains 40 nation-wide candidates and a local constituency candidate. Voters can give up to 5 preferrence votes by circling the number in front of the candidate. Council of the People ballots are marked with a red stripe.

The mandates are distributed using a mixed electoral system, which combines a total of 70 single-member constituencies, which use the First-past-the-post voting, and a single 40-member constituency, which encompasses the whole country, in which the mandates are assigned using the D'Hondt method.
