Legislature of West Mainland

The State Legislature of West Mainland (it has no other official name) is the legislative body of the Georgeland state of West Mainland. It consists of 109 members, elected from single-member systems by a first-past-the-post system. The Chief Minister of West Mainland is always a member of the legislature, and is the leader of the party that controls the chamber. Each member represents a district with roughly 84,000 residents, of which there are usually about 60,000 registered voters. A referendum to reconstitute the legislature from the 2008 election using a system of proportional representation was defeated by voters. The legislature sits in a special building in Santa Christina that housed the Mainland state legislature from 1911 to 2000, the Parliament of Georgeland from 1891 to 1911 and the Colonial Assembly of Georgeland from 1874 to 1891.
