Beginning with the Constitutional Charter of 1753, the Council of Freeholders and Burgesses was elected by
The Council is elected proportionally, with the country split into three electoral districts that each elect 35 Councilors. Political parties need to receive at least 2% of the vote to be issued a seat. Unaffiliated candidates can also run, and require at least 1% of votes in order to be elected. Two Co-Consuls remain the collective head of state, elected by and from the Great Council. By tradition, the leaders of the two largest political groupings in the Great Council are elected, and they retain their positions and votes in the Great Council while they serve as Co-Consuls. Terms were initially for 6 months, but have since been amended to three years. The same term applies to every member of the Great Council.
