Jovian Senate

The Jovian Senate is the people's branch of the Kingdom of Jupiter. It is the prime legislator of Jupiter (the King and National Policy Council (NPC) have some legislative power). The Senate is created by Article 3 in the Constitution. ​ Senators are elected in a general election every quarter. Each Senator is elected at large.

The form of election is modified approval voting. Every citizen can vote for one to one less than the total number of candidates. The ten candidates with the most votes get seats in the Jovian Senate. If there is a tie the King picks the winner based off of government experience and availability.

Senate Seal

The torch in the Great Seal of the Jovian Senate represents democracy. It is similar to the Statue of Liberty's torch. There are ten stars around it representing the ten Senators. The President is the dark blue and the Opposition Leader is the light blue. The date at the bottom of the seal is the date that the Third Constitution was signed, officially creating the Jovian Senate in its current form.
