The Cosa consists of 200 seats, all of which are contested at each general election. In a popular vote, each citizen casts a ballot for
the political party of his or her choice. Each party then assigns
representatives — called "Members of the Cosa" (or "MCs") — to hold the seats won by the party. A single MC may hold up to thirty seats. MCs hold office until the next general election; general elections take place at roughly
eight-month intervals.
Seat assignments for the 43d Cosa,
which was elected in the general election of 14 October 2011, and which
convened on 1 November 2011, are listed below:
