[edit]I believe that the arabic "mustasharin" translates to "one who gives counsel" or "consultant." For this reason, I think that Assembly of Counselors (as it is put on the CIA World Factbook and opposed to "Assembly of Councillors) is a better translation/representation of the Arabic. Thoughts?
New composition (2011)
[edit]The House is composed now of 120 councillors:
- 24 elected by the 16 regional councils;
- 48 elected by the communal, prefectoral and provincial councils, grouped in 16 regions;
- 20 elected by the 'professional chambers' (agriculture, commerce, industry, services, artisanry, fishery), grouped in 16 regions;
- 8 elected by employers' unions, grouped in 8 regions;
- 20 elected nationally by employees' representatives.
Elections are by list-PR (closed list, simple quota largest remainder); if one seat, by plurality.
