The Parliament of the United Republic of Sarenium, variously referred to as the Saren Parliament, or the Federal Parliament, is the legislative branch of the government of Sarenium. It consists of three elements: the President, the Senate and the House of Commons. The combination of two elected houses, in which the members of the Senate represent the fifteen States while the members of the House represent electoral divisions according to population, is unique in that the President is charged with the appointment of 45 of the 105 seats in the Senate (3 from each state) and the remaining sixty are elected by their constituents. Those remaining sixty are elected every six years, with thirty in each of the three years.
The Senate, consists of 105 members: seven for each state. The House of Commons, currently consists of 630 members, each elected from single member constituencies, known as electoral divisions (commonly referred to as "electorates" or "seats") using compulsory preferential voting.
