Saeima is the parliament of the Republic of Latvia. It is a unicameral parliament consisting of 100 members who are elected by proportional representation, with seats allocated to political parties which gain at least 5% of the popular vote. Elections are held once every four years, on the first Saturday of October. The most recent elections were held in October 2006.

The current Speaker of the Saeima is Gundars Daudze (Union of Greens and Farmers) since 2007.

The President of Latvia can dismiss the Saeima and request early elections. The procedure for dismissing it involves substantial political risk to the president, including a risk of loss of office, and no president of Latvia has ever attempted to dismiss the Saeima.
