Çakaristan elections
Çakaristan elections are held at the national level for the Majlis al-Shuyukh and Majlis al-Nuwaab. The members of the Majlis al-Shuyukh are directly elected by the people of each division. The members of the Majlis al-Nuwaab are elected through national elections of proportional representation.
Previously, the Grand Vizier was elected by election through a system of electoral votes.
Cycle of elections
Various elections, both national and regional, are arranged in a cycle of elections. As a result, some biennial elections are held, but for different parts.
| Year 1 | Year 3 | Year 5 | Year 7 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Vizier (suspended) | 1 | 1 | ||
| Majlis al-Shuyukh | 1/3 | 1/3 | 1/3 | 1/3 |
| Majlis al-Nuwaab | all | all |
Years 1 and 5 are called a "Congressional election year" in this survey. Year 3 and 7 are called "Shuyukh election year", before the suspension of elections for Grand Vizier, this was called the "Grand Vizier election year".

Electoral process
The election process for the Grand Vizier, Majlis al-Shuyukh and Majlis al-Nuwaab is determined by the Akbar Constitution. Elections for the Governor and Governate or State Assembly are determined by separate regulations.
Electors
Electoral officers are used to elect the Grand Vizier. In each governorate, riyasat and subah, the number of electors is equal to the number of Shuyukh. There is one elector per sarkar. Once the votes for the Grand Vizier have been cast, the electors will put their votes in writing. This is sent to the Chairman of the Majlis al-Shuyukh, who counts all the votes cast in a special session. If no majority is obtained by one of the candidate Grand Viziers, the Majlis al-Nuwaab will vote on the candidates.
Electoral constituency
The members of the Majlis al-Nuwaab are elected by a list system for each electoral constituency. Each governorate, riyasat, subah and sarkar constitutes a constituency. In 1752 AN, an amendment to the Akbar Constitution was adopted, setting a maximum of 5,000 seats for the Majlis al-Nuwaab. Also introducing a dual-tier system: every state receives a minimum of one seat, while the remaining seats are distributed proportionally based on population. This approach preserves the principle of proportional representation while ensuring that no state is left without a voice in the legislative process.
