Gaduridan legislative election, 3602

A legislative election took place in Gaduridos in October 3602 to elect the 350 members of the Gaduridan Congress. The Congress is the supreme legislative assembly of the country. Since the politics of Gaduridos take place within the frames of a presidential system, Congress is independent from the country's head of state and government, the President of the Federal Union. Thus the president is elected separately from, but on the same date as Congress.

Background
Following the 3596 and 3599 general elections, the Socialist Party and the Gaduridan National Congress had formed coalition governments. The two parties sought to win re-election in 3602, with Socialist leader Teo Ferrero as their ultimate candidate for the presidency. Throughout the past six years, the Conservative Party had been in opposition, and campaigned for a change in government, and for a Conservative president. The election was the third federal electoral test for the PS-GNC majority coalition.
