The Legislature of Cascadia is the unicameral legislature of Cascadia, consisting of the Cascadia House of Representatives. It is has continuously operated since August 17, 2022, and is one of the only several directly elected legislative bodies on the server.

The House of Representatives normally consists of 12 representatives, however can be lowered or raised if it is deemed adequate by the legislature. All representatives are elected directly by the people in multi-member geographic electorates, each electing either 3 or 4 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 therefore the Legislature has a lot more of a collegial attitude than many other legislatures that have political parties or groups. Elections are held once a month, alongside elections for the Governor of Cascadia. The Lieutenant Governor of Cascadia serves as President of the Legislature as its presiding officer, and presides over meetings of the legislature, and if need be, may break a tie, if that may arise.
