1707 Hurmu general elections
The third Parlerment elections are scheduled to be held during the ninth month of 1707. At the same time, regional elections are scheduled for the legislative assembles in the States and districts of Hurmu. The previous elections occurred in 1695. The next elections are scheduled for 1713
See also 1707 Hurmu general elections/IRL for the OOC procedure of the election.
Procedure
Eighteen seats in the 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 28? members, and Rekozemlje 31? members. Residents of the District of the Warring Islands 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, as well as Hurmu citizens living abroad, may vote through their constituency of origin. Citizens who are members of the Order of the Holy Lakes do not vote in Assembly elections but in the Senate election.
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. Another option is for the Electorate through voting in the affirmative or negative to a question bind the Senate to introduce or not to introduce legislation on a specific matter. 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 1707 will reach an age of 18 or more, are electors. The electors will elect 18 members.

Residents of the District of the Warring Islands will be represented by 1? member.
