1701 Hurmu general elections

The third Parlerment elections are scheduled to be held during the ninth month of 1701. At the same time, regional elections are scheduled for the legislative assembles in the States and districts of Hurmu.

Procedure

Eighteen seats in the Senate (double the seats from the previous Senate), elected by the members of the Order of the Holy Lakes, and 99 seats in the Assembly, elected by persons with legal and permanent residence in Hurmu are up for election. All electors must be at least 18 years of age on the last day of the election. Thus not only citizens of Hurmu are allowed to vote, but legally resident foreigners too. Citizenship is a prerequisite, however, for being a candidate.

Residents in the Lake District will elect 38 members of the Assembly, while residents in Lontinien will elect 29 members, and Rekozemlje 31 members. Residents of East Barrow Island will be represented by 1 member. Legal residency is not recognised in the Southern District, and as such, that district will remain outside the remit of the election. Hurmu citizens resident the Southern District or in Eesdeheito may vote through their constituency of origin.

The constitution of Hurmu allows for referendums to be held at the same time. Such referendums are binding and require the majority of electors to the Senate to be in favour in order to be binding upon the state institutions of Hurmu, for example amending the constitution or adopting legislation. No provision in the constitution allows for country-wide referendums for Assembly voters.

Senate elections

In this Senate election, the adult members of the Order of the Holy Lakes, who during the year 1701 will reach an age of 18 or more, are electors. The electors will elect an enlarged Senate. The Senate will thus be expanded from 9 members to 18.
