Oregon Territorial Legislature

The Oregon Legislative Assembly is the legislature of the State of Oregon. The Legislative Assembly is bicameral, consisting of an upper house, the 72-member Oregon State Senate; and a lower house, the 120-member Oregon House of Representatives. Both Houses of the Legislative Assembly are directly- and popularly-elected by the Electorate of Oregon; however, while Representatives are elected in single-member districts based on population, the Members of the Senate are elected on a County-basis, in which Senate seats are apportioned among the Counties based on population, with each County choosing between one and three Senators, with the actual apportionment based on population: More populous Counties choose more Senators; however, each County is entitled to choose at least one Senator. The Term of Senator is six Years, while that of Representative is two; and one-third of the Seats in the Senate (24 Seats) are filled by election every two Years, while the entirety of the 120 Seats of the House of Representatives are filled biennially.
