It is unknown exactly how many representatives were allowed from each planet, but the numbers seem to vary from planet to planet. It is thought by historians that these numbers were chosen based on planet population. However, what is known is that every four years, representatives were elected on each planet and sent to Coruscant to serve in the Union's House of Representatives. Under the Union Constitution, a Representative had to be at least twenty-five years old.
