The Civil Administration Legislative of the Phinbellan Maritime Territories, until RP 2603 known as the Legislative Council, has 15 members: all seats are directly elected for six-month to four-year terms, eleven in single-seat constituencies and four "at large".
Sittings of the Civil Administration Legislative are divided into "terms" with each term following from a general election. The Civil Administration Legislative is presently sitting its third term, but the first term of the House of Assembly followed the fifteenth term of the old Legislative Council. Accordingly, in aggregate the legislature is sitting its eighteenth term since the restoration of democracy in the Territory. Each term is then broken down into different "sittings". At the end of each sitting the House is either prorogued until the next sitting, or dissolved for a general election.

At-large seats
At-large seats were reintroduced in RP 2610 pursuant to the Elections Act, RP 2610. The At-large seats were in addition to the District seats. Candidates had been elected to At-large seats in the RP 2600 general election, but not subsequently.
At present four seats in the House of Assembly are elected on a Territory-wide basis and these are referred to as the At-large seats. Accordingly, at each general election every voter may cast up to five votes: one in relation to the representative for their District, and up to four in favour of candidates standing for the At-large seats (each voter may only vote for any candidate one time - it would not be possible to vote for the same At-large candidate four times). Accordingly, in recent times the At-large seats have tended to work as a swing vote - if one party is more popular than the other Territory-wide, then they will normally win most or all of the At-large seats, which helps ensure that the winning party has a working majority.
