- Nóta The Senate consists of 100 senators elected for 4 years by direct universal suffrage, by secret ballot, in single-member constituencies. It has the right to initiate legislation. It examines bills passed by the Sejm [ IATE:179714 ] (the lower house) within 30 days of their submission, unless a bill is urgent, in which case it is examined within 14 days. The Senate may accept, amend or reject a bill passed by the Sejm. The Senate’s resolution to reject or amend a bill is deemed accepted when it is not overruled by the Sejm by an absolute majority of votes in the presence of at least half the statutory number of deputies.
