Electors will choose this Tuesday the 120 members of the House of Councillors, the last step of the kingdom’s 2021 electoral process.
In accordance with the organic law relating to the House of Councillors, members will be elected as such:
72 members representing local authorities, elected regionally, 20 members elected, in each region, by a single electoral college composed of all the elected representatives of the professional chambers existing in the region concerned, 8 members elected, in each region, by an electoral college composed of the elected representatives of the most representative employers’ professional organizations and 20 members elected, at the national level, by an electoral college composed of the employees’ representatives.
The elections of the members of the upper house are held on the basis of a list of candidates, with proportional representation, according to the rule of the largest remainder, without a mixture or preferential vote.
This marks the second election of the members of the upper house since the adoption of the 2011 constitution, which strengthened the power of the upper house, particularly through the motion to create commissions of inquiry.
The House of Advisors also plays an important role in all issues with a regional dimension or socio-economic character, which makes it a real forum for debating all matters that are central to the daily concerns of citizens.
