Electoral system
According to Article 32 of the Charter of Sverdlovsk Oblast, the Legislative Assembly is unicameral, with a total number of members of 50. 25 of them are elected by party lists, and the other 25 deputies are elected in single-mandate constituencies. The term of office of deputies is five years.[1]
History
The Soviet-era Regional Council of People's Deputies was replaced by the Sverdlovsk Oblast Duma in 1994. Two years later, the Duma became lower house of the newly established Legislative Assembly with House of Representatives as its upper house. Elections were held to the House in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2004 and 2008 for all 21 seats. In the Sverdlovsk Oblast Duma a half of the total seats number (14) was at stake every two years. In 2011 bicameralism was abandoned in Sverdlovsk Oblast and new unicameral Legislative Assembly was elected.[2]
