(Act of Parliament of 29. Feb. 1920. No. 134 in the Code of Laws and Regulations.)

All persons are entitled to vote whose names are duly entered on the Standing List of Voters, and who, at the date of the first publication of the same have attained the age of 26 years.

Eligibility for membership commences at the age of 45 years.

There are 13 constituencies each of which, in general, is composed of two such constituencies as send members to the Chamber of Deputies. The smallest constituency sends up 4 members, the largest (that of Prague) 23.

The franchise rules governing elections to the Chamber of Deputies apply also to the Senatorial elections (see above).

If elections to the two chambers take place within 4 weeks of each other, no person may stand as candidate for both houses. The election of a candidate in defiance of this provision is invalid.

In cases other than that just mentioned, if a deputy be elected senator, or vice versa a senator be elected deputy, he shall take his seat in that chamber to which he was last elected.
