The House of Representatives consists of 15 representatives, however the total number can be lowered or raised by law, and has been on several occasions. All representatives are elected directly by the people in multi-member geographic constituencies, each electing three to six members to the House of Representatives, on the basis of Proportional Representation by means of the Single Transferable Vote. Political parties, while not banned, do not exist in Cascadia, and thus the House has a more nonpartisan attitude compared to legislatures that have organized caucuses or groups. Elections are held once a month, alongside elections for the President of Cascadia.
