State Duma

State Duma is lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia (legislature). The State Duma adopts decrees on issues referred to its authority by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Decrees of the State Duma are adopted by a majority of the total number of deputies of the State Duma, unless another procedure is envisaged by the Constitution. All bills are first approved by the State Duma and are further debated and approved (or rejected) by the Federation Council(upper house of the Federal Assembly).

Its members are referred to as deputies. There are constitutionally 450 deputies of the State Duma, each elected to a term of four years. Seats are awarded on the basis of the percentage of election votes won by a party. The party then elects candidates to fill its eligible seats.
