Election of Galactic Senators



Elections to the Galactic Senate were three-stage after the Ruusan Reformations of 1000 BBY. Planetary governments appointed delegates to subsector assemblies. Subsector assemblies elected the members of regional sector assemblies, which in turn elected the actual senators who would serve on Coruscant.

The subsector assemblies were the pre-Ruusan Reformations sector assemblies that were still appointed by planetary regimes, except they actually elected the senators. However, only a fraction of these pre-Ruusan senators were actually seated in the Galactic Senate, though senators without voting rights in the Senate could still petition the Senate on behalf of their (pre-Ruusan) sectors.
