Elections in Balakia are held to select members of the Common Council, members of municipal councils, and the President. Balak citizens can also vote in mandatory or consultary referendums.

The 1,345 members in the Common Council are elected to a term of five Sayanic years in a multitude of proportional voting systems as determined by the states.

Elections to the Common Council

Process and eligibility

The Common Council has a total of 1,345 members, known as Councillors, elected to a fixed term of five Sayanic years. Balakia exhibits a fragmented multi-party system, with a number of small parties in which coalition governments are common. Ordinary elections to the Common Council take place on [date]. Under Terminian federalism, independent state legislatures are substituted with compartments of the Common Council, with Councillors legislating on both the national level and the state level. Thus, federal elections additionally serve as, and are indistinguishable from, state elections.

Electoral systems

Voting systems used by each state

Each Balak state has a given number of seats in the Common Council allocated to them, based on population. Under Balak electoral law, the states are free to distribute their allocated number of seats through whatever democratic means they choose, and are given the freedom to adopt their own proportional systems of voting and draw their own electoral districts. The majority of the states use mixed-member proportional representation (MMPR), a selection use single transferable vote (STV), and two states use party-list proportional representation exclusively. In all states that use proportional representation (both party-list and mixed-member), a party must attain at least 5% of the statewide popular vote in order to qualify for a seat. Out of the Common Council's 1,345 seats, 783 are allocated through MMPR, 394 are allocated through STV, and 168 are allocated through party-list proportional representation.
