1701 Hurmu general elections

The third Parlerment elections are scheduled to be held during the ninth month of 1701.

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 as well as a majority of the voters to the Assembly of Representatives to be in favour in order to be binding upon the state institutions of Hurmu, for example amending the constitution or adopting legislation.
