The 3rd Faltrian Senate was the main legislative body of the State of Faltree and decided the laws and conduct of Faltree. Elections are held every 6 months in the months of June and December usually, however this may diverge according to the will of the Commander. The Commander of Faltree is prohibited to vote or act as a Senator, only eligible to approve propositions and propose propositions himself. It was convened on 10 March 2022 after an election caused by the preceding passage of the Proportion Act by the 2nd Faltrian Senate. It was disbanded on 16 May 2022 after an election to convene the 4th Faltrian Senate.
Procedure
All legislation and lawmaking are handled by the Senate, composed of 17 Senatorial seats to represent each Faltrian county via proportion. Every proposed piece of legislation in the Senate must gain a 61% majority vote before going up to the Interior Minister, who gives either an approving or disapproving vote of the proposition. If the proposition is approved by the Interior Minister, it shall go up to the Commander for approval. If the Commander approves the proposition, it shall go into effect immediately after approval. Any bill that does not reach a majority or is disapproved in any step of the lawmaking process, it may be rewritten and proposed once again. Elections for the Senate are held every 6 months, usually in the months of June and December. If a seat is unfilled anytime between these election periods the Commander will appoint a new senator to the unfilled seat or hold a quick election if there is enough interest in the vacant seat.
