The national legislature is a [[Bicameralism|bicameral]] [[Parliament of Romania|parliament]] ({{langx|ro|Parlament}}), consisting of the [[Chamber of Deputies (Romania)|Chamber of Deputies]] ({{langx|ro|Camera Deputaților}}) and the [[Senate of Romania|Senate]] ({{langx|ro|Senat}}). Members are elected to four-year terms by universal suffrage in a party-list [[proportional representation]] [[electoral system]]. Beginning in [[2008 Romanian legislative election|2008]], members are elected by [[mixed-member proportional representation]].

The number of senators and deputies has varied in each legislature, reflecting population changes. In 2008, there were 137 senatorial seats and 334 seats in the Chamber of Deputies; of the 334 deputy seats, 18 were held by ethnic minority representatives which would not meet the five-percent [[electoral threshold]] required for other parties and organizations.
