The Senate (Romanian: Senat) is the upper house in the bicameral Parliament of Romania. It has 136 seats (before the 2016 Romanian parliamentary election the total number of elected representatives was 176[1]), to which members are elected by direct popular vote using party-list proportional representation[1] in 43 electoral districts (the 41 counties, the city of Bucharest plus 1 constituency for the Romanians living abroad), to serve four-year terms.
