PARLINE For all countries of the world having a national legislature, the PARLINE database provides general information on each of the Parliament's chambers, a description of the electoral system, the results of the most recent elections, as well as information on the presidency of each chamber.

It is regularly updated by the Inter-Parliamentary Union for the benefit of those who search for references on books and articles dealing with parliamentary law and legislative elections throughout the world.
