History
The Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Karelia was established in 1994 as the successor of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Karelia.
The Legislative Assembly consisted of two chambers: the Chamber of the Republic and the Chamber of Representatives. Deputies of both chambers were elected for a term of 4 years.[4]
- The Chamber of the Republic consisted of 25 deputies. Deputies were elected in single-mandate constituencies.
- The House of Representatives consisted of 36 deputies. They were elected in multi-member constituencies with a representation standard of two deputies from an electoral district coinciding with the territory of a district.
On March 26, 2000, a referendum on parliamentary reform was held. 69.79% of voters (271,328 people) voted in favor of adopting a unicameral parliament.[5] The changes were adopted in 2001.
In November 2014, the threshold for party lists in elections to the Legislative Assembly was reduced from 7% to 5%[6].
