THE LEGISLATURE

The power in the Republic of Belarus is exercised on the basis of its separation into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The state bodies are independent within the limits of their authority: they interact, restrain and balance each other (the system of check and balance).
The supreme legislative power belongs to the National Assembly, which consists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Council of the Republic. The House of Representatives consists of 110 members, who are elected on the basis of general free equal direct suffrage by secret ballot. Any citizen of Belarus at least 21 years of age may be elected to the House of Representatives.
The Council of the Republic is formed in the following way: 6 regions and the capital city of Minsk elect 8 members to the house each. Eight members of the house are appointed directly by the President. Thus the total membership of the house is 64 members. Any citizen of Belarus at least 30 years of age and resident of the corresponding region at least 5 years may be elected a member of the Council of the Republic.
The term of office of the National Assembly is 4 years. The houses have two sessions a year: the first begins on October 2, and lasts for not more than 80 days; the second session begins on April 2, and lasts not more than 90 days. Each house elects a chairman and his assistants from its members. They organize the work of the houses. The houses form standing committees and other bodies from their members for legislative work.
