The other constituencies
Constituency
The area the MP was elected for. There are 22: the 18 mainland districts, the Azores, Madeira and two for Portuguese voters abroad (Europe and Outside Europe). Every MP represents the whole country, not only their constituency.
Legislature
The term of an elected Parliament: four legislative sessions (about four years), or less when the Assembly is dissolved and there is an early election. Each has a Roman numeral; the current one is the XVII.
Replacement
When an MP leaves or suspends their seat (for example, to join the Government), the seat goes to the next candidate on the same list. That is why a legislature has more names than its 230 seats.
Parliamentary group
The MPs elected for the same party or coalition, who work together in Parliament.
