Each national council is elected for five years by the citizens of the respective republic by secret ballot under universal, equal, and direct suffrage. The national council is the only legislative body for the republic. The right of legislative initiative is vested in the council’s deputies and committees and the government of the republic.

Between sessions, the powers of the national council, except those related to the passage of constitutional laws and the adoption of the republic budget, are exercised by an appointed presidium.
