Sámi Parliament's Plenum

The Plenum represents the supreme authority of the Sámi Parliament. It meets 4–5 times per year. The Plenum decides mainly on the statements, proposals, and other comments.

The Sámi Parliament consists of 21 members and four deputy members, who are elected in the Sámi Parliament elections for a four-year term. The Sámi Parliament must include at least two members and one deputy member from each of the municipalities of Enontekiö, Inari, and Utsjoki, as well as from the Lapland reindeer cooperative area of the municipality of Sodankylä. The remaining 13 members are elected based on the number of votes received, provided that at least five of them are from the Sámi homeland area.

The Sámi Parliament’s plenum meets at the Sámi Cultural Centre Sajos in Inari. The meetings are open to public and can be observed in the Parliament hall or through live-stream broadcast. Interpreting equipment are also available for the public in the Parliament hall.
