Electoral system
Elections to the Ostlandet Parliament are governed under the Zhelesboksarsk Agreement, signed at the 2nd Ostlandet summit. The agreement states that the electoral procedure is member states must hold elections to determine the composition of their delegation to the parliament but each national election governed by the national provisions in each member state. These elections however can subject to additional parameters by any law passed by the Council of Ostlandet before the election or both parliamentary bodies after. Elections are conducted by direct universal suffrage.
Seat apportionment
The Zhelesboksarsk Agreement stipulates that the parliament should be constructed with 1000 seats and that those seats would be proportioned out to member states based on population. However, the agreement also stipulates that each nation should have a "sizable" voice in the parliament and that no nation should "dominate" parliamentary debate. Thus the seat apportionment stipulates a minimum number of seats for each nation, 8, and a maximum, 128. The one exception to this rule is Kernev, whose population is significantly smaller than any other member state and is instead apportioned four seats. The cap on total number of seats for each member means not all of the 1000 seats have been apportioned to each member state, being 918 out of 1000 in the apportionment for the 2024 election.
In the 2024 apportionment cycle, seats were allocated to states within the minimum and maximum at roughly a seat per every 990,000 constituents. Two member states with populations under 8 million, Uulgadzar and Daesdain, failed to reach the minimum number of seats by population apportionment and thus were granted additional seats to meet the minimum of eight. One member state, Paleocacher, exceeded the maximum number of seats and was capped at 128 seats for the 2024 cycle. For the 2024 cycle, the country with the least population per seat apportioned is Kernev at 149,069 for each of it's four seats while the country with the most population per seat apportioned is Paleocacher at 1,601,562 for each of it's 128 seats.
The Zhelesboksarsk Agreement also entitles OU Partners to non-voting seats in the parliament. All partners are granted 8 seats regardless of population and face no requirement to elect their members.
