Russia’s Parliament — Парламент России

Russia’s parliament, which is called the Federal Assembly, consists of a 450-member lower house known as the State Duma and a 178-member upper house called the Federation Council.

The State Duma makes the country’s laws. The Duma’s proposed legislation must be approved by the Federation Council and by the President before becoming law. However, the State Duma can override a veto by the Federation Council and send legislation directly to the President.

The Federation Council approves government appointments and such presidential actions as the declaration of martial law and the use of armed forces outside of Russia.

Members of the State Duma are elected by the people to four-year terms. Members of the Federation Council are local government officials. These members include regional governors and leaders of local legislatures. They are not elected directly to the council but gain membership when they attain the local office.

All Russian citizens 18 years of age and older may vote in the country’s elections.

Совет Федерации одобряет правительственные назначения и такие президентские действия как объявление военного положения и использование вооруженных сил за пределами России.
Члены государственной Думы избираются народом на четырехлетней срок. Члены Совета Федерации — чиновники местных органов власти. Эти члены включают губернаторов и руководителей местных законодательных органов.

Все российские граждане в возрасте 18 лет и старше могут голосовать на выборах.
