The General Assembly is the upper house of the National Assembly of Laeral, which comprises the national legislature of Laeral alongside the Assembly of Commons. It meets at Assembly Hall in Laeralsford.
The General Assembly is an elected body, with two Delegates elected from each of Laeral's 33 provinces to comprise a body of 66, alongside non-voting members from the territory of Xianjiapo and the Xueyan Special Administrative Region. Members are elected via single transferable vote, a form of proportional representation, within each province on a staggered election schedule to serve six-year terms.
The General Assembly was established in 1954 with the Second Allied Provinces of Laeral, and is the upper and weaker house of the National Assembly—a form of imperfect bicameralism. In contrast to the Assembly of Commons, the General Assembly's approval is not required to elect a prime minister. Although the General Assembly may reject legislation passed by the Assembly of Commons, a three-fifths majority in the Commons and the president's concurrence are sufficient to override the General Assembly's veto.
